Bill Summary

CONCERNING USE OF THE "INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND JOBS ACT" CASH FUND TO SUPPORT THE STATE'S DEFENSE AGAINST ADVERSE FEDERAL ACTION, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.

AI Summary

This bill modifies the "Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act" cash fund to provide the Governor's Office with expanded authority to defend against potential adverse federal actions. Specifically, the bill allows the office to seek, accept, and expend gifts, grants, or donations to support activities related to federal government actions that might impact state funding or operations. The funds can be used for hiring personnel or contractors, reimbursing the Department of Law for special assistant attorneys general who can provide legal services for federal inquiries, investigations, or legal proceedings, and for other expenditures aimed at preserving state sovereignty or protecting federal funding streams. The bill includes a $4,000,000 appropriation to the Governor's Office for the 2025-26 fiscal year from this cash fund, with any unexpended funds being carried over to the 2026-27 fiscal year. The cash fund and its related provisions are set to be automatically repealed on July 1, 2028, with any remaining funds reverting to the General Fund. The bill appears to be a proactive measure to give the state more flexibility in responding to potential federal actions that could negatively impact Colorado.
