Bill Summary
CONCERNING EXCHANGING MONEY RECEIVED FROM THE FEDERAL CORONAVIRUS STATE FISCAL RECOVERY FUND WITH STATE MONEY, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, ENSURING THAT MONEY RECEIVED FROM THE FEDERAL CORONAVIRUS STATE FISCAL RECOVERY FUND IS SPENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH DEADLINES ESTABLISHED IN FEDERAL LAW AND MAKING AND REDUCING APPROPRIATIONS.
AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure that Colorado spends the federal COVID-19 relief funds (known as ARPA money) it received from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 by the required deadlines. The key provisions are:
1. The state will transfer most of the ARPA funds appropriated for programs intended to be spent after December 31, 2024, to state funds, maintaining the program funding but changing the source. This is to preserve flexibility after the federal deadline.
2. The state will use the ARPA funds for personal services retroactively in fiscal years 2023-24 and 2024-25 to ensure all unobligated ARPA money is spent by the end of 2024, as required by federal law.
3. The bill establishes procedures for monitoring and reporting on the use of ARPA funds, including reducing General Fund appropriations by the amount of ARPA funds used for personal services.
The goal is to meet the federal deadlines for obligating and spending the ARPA funds while continuing to support the intended programs and services.
