This bill removes the legal requirement for the Colorado General Assembly to annually appropriate at least one million dollars for the Comprehensive Human Sexuality Education Grant Program. It also mandates a specific reduction of $991,025 and 1.3 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions in the 2026-27 state budget for this program, unless the total funding for the program is already lower than that amount or no funding exists in the budget.

Deleted the statutory mandate requiring the legislature to appropriate at least one million dollars annually for the Comprehensive Human Sexuality Education Grant Program.

FISCAL

Added a requirement to decrease the 2026-27 state budget appropriation for the program by $991,025 and reduce related staffing by 1.3 FTE.

EXCEPTIONS

Added exceptions to the funding reduction if the current budget amount is already less than $991,025 or if the budget does not include any funding for the program.

TIMELINE

MINOR

The bill was amended to clarify its title and purpose by explicitly adding language about reducing an appropriation alongside eliminating the annual funding requirement. The substantive policy changes remain the same: the state will no longer be required to fund the Comprehensive Human Sexuality Education Grant Program starting in the 2019-20 budget year, and the 2026-27 budget adjustment to stop this funding is now contingent on the 2026-27 appropriation act becoming law.

Scope change

The scope of the bill's title and summary was expanded to reflect the reduction in appropriation, but the legal scope of the act (eliminating the funding mandate) remains unchanged.

TITLE

The bill title was updated to state that the act concerns eliminating the annual appropriation requirement AND reducing an appropriation, providing a more complete description of the bill's effects.

REQUIREMENT

The bill summary was updated to explicitly mention that the General Assembly is reducing an appropriation in connection with eliminating the requirement to fund the program.

TECHNICAL

Formatting and header information were updated to reflect the bill's new status as 'Engrossed' with amendments adopted on Second Reading in the House.
