Summary — SB 25‑260: Repeal Colorado Household Financial Recovery Pilot Program

Status: Governor Signed (2025‑04‑25)
Introduced: 2025‑03‑31
Classification: Bill

Main purpose and intent

SB 25‑260 repeals the statutory authority for the "Colorado Household Financial Recovery Pilot Program." The bill’s primary effect is to remove the law that established and authorized the pilot program, thereby ending the program’s legal basis and any statutory duties, reporting requirements, or authorizations created solely to implement the pilot.

Key provisions

  • Repeals the statute(s) that created the Colorado Household Financial Recovery Pilot Program.
  • Terminates the state’s statutory authorization to operate the pilot program going forward.
  • Eliminates any statutory reporting, evaluation, or sunset provisions tied specifically to the pilot (as created in the original enabling statute).
  • Does not, in the available legislative summary, specify transitional provisions or appropriation adjustments; for details on funding, contracts, or participant wind‑down, consult the enrolled bill text and the fiscal note.

Note: The legislative materials provided do not include the bill’s full text or fiscal note. Those documents should be reviewed for precise repeal language, any transitional clauses, effective date, and impacts on appropriations and contracts.

Who or what would be affected

  • Households and individuals who were participating in or expecting to participate in the pilot program (would no longer be served under the statutory pilot).
  • State agencies or local entities that administered or contracted to operate the pilot (administrative responsibilities and contracts may need to be closed out or reassigned).
  • Vendors, contractors, and service providers engaged under the pilot (potential contract termination or reprocurement issues).
  • Legislative oversight bodies that received reports or evaluations from the pilot (those reporting duties will be removed if they were statutory).
