This bill makes supplemental appropriations for capital construction information technology projects for the fiscal years beginning July 1, 2025, and July 1, 2024, by amending existing laws. Specifically, it adjusts funding allocations for various state agencies and institutions of higher education for projects such as offender records management, pharmacy system replacements, child care assistance program administration, school finance system modernization, and the Colorado Benefits Management System, among others. The bill also revises appropriations for the Department of Human Services and the Department of Higher Education for the 2024 fiscal year, including adjustments to mental health information management systems and campus digital experience projects. The "appropriation from item" refers to the specific line item in the budget, and "capital construction funds" are monies designated for building or upgrading infrastructure, including IT systems. The bill also clarifies the sources of funding for certain projects, such as federal funds, local funds, or specific state funds like the Public School Capital Construction Assistance Fund or the Colorado Bureau of Investigation Identification Unit Fund.
