Colorado lawmakers have sent their annual budget bill to Gov. Jared Polis, which will dictate state spending for the next fiscal year and ripple out for years to come.
The roughly $38.5 billion spending proposal — which includes a $1.2 billion increase to the general fund — funds the state government’s operations and programs. Lawmakers on the Joint Budget Committee, which drafts the document and ushers it through the General Assembly, characterized their effort largely as a “year of implementation” after a downpour of federal money that helped buoy efforts on things like the environment, education and affordable housing.
And that’s before the formal public school financing bill, which could further increase the amount as lawmakers debate how to tackle ongoing education funding issues, she noted. That bill will be debated in the coming weeks of the legislative session. The Office of School Safety would oversee a resource center for schools to prepare for and respond to emergencies, as well as house new grant programs.
