Bill > HB1046

This bill amends Colorado state law to increase the maximum number of transportation planning regions from 15 to 16. Transportation planning regions are geographic areas within the state defined through a regulatory process, and this change could potentially expand the statewide transportation advisory committee membership from 17 to 18 members. The bill will take effect at 12:01 a.m. following the 90-day period after the final adjournment of the general assembly, with the caveat that if a referendum petition is filed, the bill's implementation would be subject to voter approval in the November 2026 general election. The proposed change appears to be a technical adjustment to allow for potentially more localized transportation planning across the state, providing flexibility for regional transportation authorities to better organize and represent their specific geographic and infrastructure needs.
