Title and likely intent

Title: "Repeal Requirement for By Colorado App"

The title indicates the bill repeals a statutory requirement that references use of the “By Colorado” app (or a requirement that an entity use a specific “By Colorado” application). That likely means removing a mandate that an agency, program, or regulated entity rely on or require use of the “By Colorado” mobile/online application for some specified purpose (e.g., program enrollment, benefits administration, verification, or outreach).
The title alone does not specify which statute(s), agencies, programs, populations, or regulatory contexts are affected. It also does not indicate whether the repeal is full or partial, whether it substitutes alternative requirements, or whether it includes transition provisions.

Potential affected parties (based on title)

State agencies or divisions that previously were required to use the By Colorado app.
Members of the public who relied on the app for access to services or information.
Contractors, vendors, or IT systems supporting the app.
Programs that used the app for eligibility, enrollment, verification, or communications.

What you should check in the enrolled bill (to determine precise impact)
