SB 25-243: Revert Appropriated General Fund Money From Colorado Department of Labor & Employment

Overview

Bill Number: SB 25-243
Title: Revert Appropriated General Fund Money From Colorado Department of Labor & Employment
Status: Governor Signed
Introduced: March 31, 2025

Purpose and Intent

This bill aims to revert $15 million in general fund appropriations that were previously allocated to the Colorado Department of Labor & Employment (CDLE) for the 2024-2025 fiscal year. The intent is to redirect these funds back to the state's general fund to address budget shortfalls and reallocate resources to other priority areas.

Key Provisions

  • Reverts $15 million in general fund appropriations from the CDLE budget for the current fiscal year
  • Specifies that the reverted funds shall be transferred back to the state's general fund
  • Prohibits the CDLE from using these funds for any purpose, effectively reducing the department's overall budget

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • The Colorado Department of Labor & Employment will see a $15 million reduction in its annual budget, potentially impacting staffing, programs, and services
  • Residents and businesses that rely on CDLE services may experience reduced access or delays as a result of the budget cut
  • The state's general fund will see a $15 million increase, providing more flexibility to allocate resources to other priorities

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

  • SB 25-243 was introduced in the Colorado Senate on March 31, 2025 and has since been signed into law by the Governor
  • The bill will take effect immediately upon signing, with the $15 million in CDLE funds being reverted to the general fund
  • There are no provisions for a phase-in period or delayed implementation, so the budget reduction will be implemented swiftly
