Bill Summary · HB 1333

Legislative bill overview

HB 1333 is Colorado's fiscal year 2026-27 budget bill that appropriates state funds across all government departments and agencies. This is the primary legislative vehicle through which the state allocates revenue to fund education, healthcare, transportation, public safety, and other essential services for the upcoming fiscal year.

Why is this important

Budget bills directly determine what programs receive funding and at what levels, making this one of the most consequential pieces of legislation passed annually. The appropriations in HB 1333 will shape service delivery, job creation in the public sector, and taxpayer resources for the 2026-27 fiscal year across Colorado.

Potential points of contention

  • Revenue projections: Disagreement over predicted tax revenues could lead to disputes about whether the budget is realistic or underfunded
  • Spending priorities: Different legislators will advocate for increased funding for competing interests (K-12 education, higher ed, healthcare, infrastructure, tax cuts, etc.)
  • TABOR constraints: Colorado's Taxpayer Bill of Rights limits spending growth, which may restrict budget flexibility and create difficult prioritization debates
