What changed between versions

Final Act Signed Act · 5 edits · Aug 26, 2025
MODERATE
This bill adds a new section to Colorado Revised Statutes establishing state-only funding for certain healthcare entities that are prohibited from receiving federal reimbursement due to providing reproductive health services. The changes primarily involve formatting adjustments to the bill text, including removing signature blocks and adding the enacted language. The substantive policy content regarding state funding for prohibited entities remains consistent between versions.
TECHNICAL

Removed preliminary notes about bill preparation and signature status that were present in the Final Act version but not needed in the Signed Act version.

Added the standard enacted language 'Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado' which is required for signed legislation.

Adjusted formatting of the bill title and sponsor lists to match standard signed act formatting conventions.

Corrected minor formatting inconsistencies in the statute text, including spacing around punctuation and capitalization in the signature block area.

Removed the Governor's signature block and date/time stamp from the Final Act version as these are no longer needed once the bill is signed.
