Bill Summary

CONCERNING A CONTINUATION OF THE INCOME TAX CREDIT FOR A QUALIFYING CONTRIBUTION TO PROMOTE CHILD CARE IN THE STATE.

AI Summary

This bill extends the child care contribution tax credit, which allows individuals and corporations to receive a credit equal to 50% of their monetary contributions to child care facilities in Colorado. The credit, which has been in place since 1998 and was used by approximately 18,000 Coloradans in 2022 to generate $60 million for child care providers, is crucial for opening new facilities, supporting low-income families, and retaining staff. The bill extends this tax credit for an additional ten years, from its current expiration in 2028 to January 1, 2038, and also extends the repeal date of the section governing the credit from 2035 to January 1, 2045, in recognition of its importance to the state's economy and the well-being of children.
