Bill > SB018

This bill allows the Colorado Department of Revenue to make sales and use tax license and exemption certificate information publicly searchable online, despite previous confidentiality requirements. Specifically, the executive director will enable searching these documents by the name and identification number of the tax licensee or certificate holder. To implement this new online search feature, the bill includes a fiscal appropriation of $9,718 for the 2025-26 state fiscal year, with $9,270 allocated for supporting the taxation IT system (GenTax) and $448 for related personal services. The bill will take effect after the standard 90-day legislative period, unless a referendum petition challenges it, in which case it would require voter approval at the November 2026 general election. This legislation aims to increase transparency in sales and use tax records by making key identifying information more easily accessible to the public.
