"bill_summary": "<html><body><p> Beginning on January 1, 2027, the bill authorizes an optional collision prevention fee (fee), which is collected at the time of registration of a passenger motor vehicle, a light-weight truck, a motorcycle, or a recreational vehicle (motor vehicle). An individual may decline to pay the fee when registering a motor vehicle, and nonpayment of the fee does not affect the individual's ability to register the motor vehicle. In connection with imposing the fee, the statewide bridge and tunnel enterprise (enterprise) within the department of transportation (department) is required to:<br/></p><p><ul><li>Collaborate with the department of revenue <i>and county clerks</i> to develop language to notify individuals about the fee, including explicit language regarding the ability to decline to pay the fee and the fact that nonpayment of the fee will not affect an individual's ability to register a motor vehicle; and</li><li>Collaborate with the department of revenue, the department, county clerks, the division of parks and wildlife, and other impacted stakeholders to conduct a public outreach campaign to educate the public about the fee and what benefits the fee will provide. <i>The enterprise is required to initiate the public outreach campaign as soon as practicable and must develop and deliver customer-facing educational materials to county clerks on or before December 1, 2026.</i></li></ul></p><p><br/>The fee amount is set at $5 and, beginning in state fiscal year 2028-29, the enterprise is allowed to adjust this fee amount upward for inflation.<br/></p><p> Seventy-five percent of the revenue from the fee is credited to the newly created collision prevention fund (fund), which is continuously appropriated to the enterprise for use in the following ways:<br/></p><p><ul><li>To fund wildlife safe passage projects, defined as one or more projects that reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions and improve habitat connectivity by providing wildlife road crossings;</li><li>To provide matching money as required by federal grant programs relating to wildlife safe passage projects; </li><li>For administrative and personnel expenses related to those purposes; and</li><li>To promote the fee and fund to maximize participation in the optional fee, in collaboration with the department of revenue, impacted stakeholders, and interested organizations.</li></ul></p><p><br/>In determining which wildlife safe passage projects the enterprise will undertake, the enterprise is required to:<br/></p><p><ul><li>Consult with the division of parks and wildlife (division) and the Colorado wildlife and transportation alliance;</li><li>Consult with the tribal government if the project is on or adjacent to tribal land;</li><li>Consult with relevant local governments with jurisdiction over the area of the proposed project and any relevant local organizations engaging in work to reduce vehicle collisions;</li><li>Consider studies concerning the prioritization of wildlife within the state;</li><li>Consider whether the wildlife safe passage project is related to a bridge or tunnel project undertaken by the enterprise; and</li><li>In consultation with the division, consider opportunities for landowner agreements or additional conservation efforts that may be necessary to ensure the continued functionality of infrastructure associated with a proposed wildlife safe passage project.</li></ul></p><p> Twenty-five percent of the revenue from the fee is credited to the wildlife cash fund and continuously appropriated to the division of parks and wildlife to provide services related to wildlife connectivity and wildlife crossing-related conservation efforts.<br/></p><p> The bill also modifies the process for the keep Colorado wild pass fee, which is also an optional fee paid at the time an individual registers a motor vehicle, to align with the process for the collision prevention fee by removing the presumption that an individual who declines to pay the keep Colorado wild pass fee is presumed to decline to pay that fee in subsequent years with respect to registration of the same motor vehicle. With this change, an individual must affirmatively opt out of the payment of both the keep Colorado wild pass fee and the collision prevention fee each year that the individual registers the motor vehicle.<br/></p><p> <i>For the 2026-27 state fiscal year: </i></p><p><ul><li><i>$53,516 is appropriated from the DRIVES cash fund to the department of revenue for use by the division of motor vehicles; </i></li><li><i>Of funds appropriated from the parks and outdoor recreation cash fund to the department of natural resources for use by the division of parks and wildlife, $778 is reappropriated to the department of revenue for use by the division of motor vehicles; and</i></li><li><i>$19,940 is appropriated from the legal services cash fund, from revenue received from the department from the collision prevention fund, to the department of law to provide legal services for the department.</i></li></ul></p><p><br/><i>(Note: Italicized words indicate new material added to the original summary; dashes through words indicate deletions from the original summary.)</i><br/><br/><br/><i>(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)</i></p></body></html>", "progress_bar": [ { "end": "F", "label": "Introduced", "position": 1 }, { "end": "F", "label": "Under Consideration", "position": 2 } ], "special_type": "", "bill_category": "Motor Vehicles & Traffic Regulation", "allow_testimony": "F", "amendment_files": [ { "url": "https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/AD9A9A018C70F39587258DD50050BBC3/SB141_J.001.pdf", "date": "04/10/2026 08:44:53 AM", "vote": "Passed*", "chamber": "Senate", "hearing": "SEN Appropriations", "url_html": "https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/AD9A9A018C70F39587258DD50050BBC3/SB141_J_001.html", "amendment": "J.001" }, { "url": "https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/1CCC0BBE317E026487258DCB004CFF7C/SB141_L.004.pdf", "date": "03/31/2026 03:52:21 PM", "vote": "Passed*", "chamber": "Senate", "hearing": "SEN Finance", "url_html": "https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/1CCC0BBE317E026487258DCB004CFF7C/SB141_L_004.html", "amendment": "L.004" }, { "url": "https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/8C080C3C140AC5E287258DCA004DA84C/SB141_L.003.pdf", "date": "03/31/2026 03:50:14 PM", "vote": "Passed*", "chamber": "Senate", "hearing": "SEN Finance", "url_html": "https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/8C080C3C140AC5E287258DCA004DA84C/SB141_L_003.html", "amendment": "L.003" }, { "url": "https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/DA7486A7ABEFFE1887258DC50069BA16/SB141_L.002.pdf", "date": "03/25/2026 03:24:28 PM", "vote": "Passed*", "chamber": "Senate", "hearing": "SEN Transportation & Energy", "url_html": "https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/DA7486A7ABEFFE1887258DC50069BA16/SB141_L_002.html", "amendment": "L.002" } ], "full_bill_topic": "Wildlife Collision Prevention", "long_bill_files": [], "GHG_report_files": [], "preamended_files": [ { "url": "https://www.leg.state.co.us/CLICS/CLICS2026A/csl.nsf/0/6155905040572F0887258D14005B1BE1/$File/141_S_TRA_01.pdf", "date": "03/26/2026", "label": "PA1", "url_html": "", "lastModified": "03/26/2026 12:50:32 PM", "label_detailed": "Senate Transportation & Energy Preamend" }, { "url": "https://www.leg.state.co.us/CLICS/CLICS2026A/csl.nsf/0/6155905040572F0887258D14005B1BE1/$File/141_S_TRA_FIN_01.pdf", "date": "04/01/2026", "label": "PA2", "url_html": "", "lastModified": "04/01/2026 10:05:43 AM", "label_detailed": "Senate Finance Preamend" }, { "url": "https://www.leg.state.co.us/CLICS/CLICS2026A/csl.nsf/0/6155905040572F0887258D14005B1BE1/$File/141_S_TRA_FIN_APP_01.pdf", "date": "04/10/2026", "label": "PA3", "url_html": "", "lastModified": "04/10/2026 10:30:41 AM", "label_detailed": "Senate Appropriations Preamend" } ], "bill_sub_category": "Fees", "fiscal_note_files": [ { "url": "https://www.leg.state.co.us/CLICS/CLICS2026A/csl.nsf/0/6155905040572F0887258D14005B1BE1/$File/SB141_00.pdf", "date": "03/24/2026", "label": "FN1", "url_html": "", "lastModified": "03/24/2026 09:10:13 AM", "label_detailed": "Initial Fiscal Note" }, { "url": "https://www.leg.state.co.us/CLICS/CLICS2026A/csl.nsf/0/6155905040572F0887258D14005B1BE1/$File/SB141_r1.pdf", "date": "04/08/2026", "label": "FN2", "url_html": "", "lastModified": "04/09/2026 01:41:49 PM", "label_detailed": "First Revised Fiscal Note" } ], "is_budget_package": "No", "session_laws_files": "", "summarized_history": [ { "date": "04/13/2026", "action": "Introduced In House -

Beginning on January 1, 2027, the bill authorizes an optional collision prevention fee (fee), which is collected at the time of registration of a passenger motor vehicle, a light-weight truck, a motorcycle, or a recreational vehicle (motor vehicle). An individual may decline to pay the fee when registering a motor vehicle, and nonpayment of the fee does not affect the individual's ability to register the motor vehicle. In connection with imposing the fee, the statewide bridge and tunnel enterprise (enterprise) within the department of transportation (department) is required to:<br/></p><p><ul><li>Collaborate with the department of revenue <i>and county clerks</i> to develop language to notify individuals about the fee, including explicit language regarding the ability to decline to pay the fee and the fact that nonpayment of the fee will not affect an individual's ability to register a motor vehicle; and</li><li>Collaborate with the department of revenue, the department, county clerks, the division of parks and wildlife, and other impacted stakeholders to conduct a public outreach campaign to educate the public about the fee and what benefits the fee will provide. <i>The enterprise is required to initiate the public outreach campaign as soon as practicable and must develop and deliver customer-facing educational materials to county clerks on or before December 1, 2026.</i></li></ul></p><p><br/>The fee amount is set at $5 and, beginning in state fiscal year 2028-29, the enterprise is allowed to adjust this fee amount upward for inflation.<br/></p><p> Seventy-five percent of the revenue from the fee is credited to the newly created collision prevention fund (fund), which is continuously appropriated to the enterprise for use in the following ways:<br/></p><p><ul><li>To fund wildlife safe passage projects, defined as one or more projects that reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions and improve habitat connectivity by providing wildlife road crossings;</li><li>To provide matching money as required by federal grant programs relating to wildlife safe passage projects; </li><li>For administrative and personnel expenses related to those purposes; and</li><li>To promote the fee and fund to maximize participation in the optional fee, in collaboration with the department of revenue, impacted stakeholders, and interested organizations.</li></ul></p><p><br/>In determining which wildlife safe passage projects the enterprise will undertake, the enterprise is required to:<br/></p><p><ul><li>Consult with the division of parks and wildlife (division) and the Colorado wildlife and transportation alliance;</li><li>Consult with the tribal government if the project is on or adjacent to tribal land;</li><li>Consult with relevant local governments with jurisdiction over the area of the proposed project and any relevant local organizations engaging in work to reduce vehicle collisions;</li><li>Consider studies concerning the prioritization of wildlife within the state;</li><li>Consider whether the wildlife safe passage project is related to a bridge or tunnel project undertaken by the enterprise; and</li><li>In consultation with the division, consider opportunities for landowner agreements or additional conservation efforts that may be necessary to ensure the continued functionality of infrastructure associated with a proposed wildlife safe passage project.</li></ul></p><p> Twenty-five percent of the revenue from the fee is credited to the wildlife cash fund and continuously appropriated to the division of parks and wildlife to provide services related to wildlife connectivity and wildlife crossing-related conservation efforts.<br/></p><p> The bill also modifies the process for the keep Colorado wild pass fee, which is also an optional fee paid at the time an individual registers a motor vehicle, to align with the process for the collision prevention fee by removing the presumption that an individual who declines to pay the keep Colorado wild pass fee is presumed to decline to pay that fee in subsequent years with respect to registration of the same motor vehicle. With this change, an individual must affirmatively opt out of the payment of both the keep Colorado wild pass fee and the collision prevention fee each year that the individual registers the motor vehicle.<br/></p><p> <i>For the 2026-27 state fiscal year: </i></p><p><ul><li><i>$53,516 is appropriated from the DRIVES cash fund to the department of revenue for use by the division of motor vehicles; </i></li><li><i>Of funds appropriated from the parks and outdoor recreation cash fund to the department of natural resources for use by the division of parks and wildlife, $778 is reappropriated to the department of revenue for use by the division of motor vehicles; and</i></li><li><i>$19,940 is appropriated from the legal services cash fund, from revenue received from the department from the collision prevention fund, to the department of law to provide legal services for the department.</i></li></ul></p><p><br/><i>(Note: Italicized words indicate new material added to the original summary; dashes through words indicate deletions from the original summary.)</i><br/><br/><br/><i>(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)</i></p></body></html>","amendment_files":[{"chamber":"Senate","date":"04/10/2026 08:44:53 AM","amendment":"J.001","hearing":"SEN Appropriations","vote":"Passed*","url":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/AD9A9A018C70F39587258DD50050BBC3/SB141_J.001.pdf","url_html":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/AD9A9A018C70F39587258DD50050BBC3/SB141_J_001.html"},{"chamber":"Senate","date":"03/31/2026 03:52:21 PM","amendment":"L.004","hearing":"SEN Finance","vote":"Passed*","url":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/1CCC0BBE317E026487258DCB004CFF7C/SB141_L.004.pdf","url_html":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/1CCC0BBE317E026487258DCB004CFF7C/SB141_L_004.html"},{"chamber":"Senate","date":"03/31/2026 03:50:14 PM","amendment":"L.003","hearing":"SEN Finance","vote":"Passed*","url":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/8C080C3C140AC5E287258DCA004DA84C/SB141_L.003.pdf","url_html":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/8C080C3C140AC5E287258DCA004DA84C/SB141_L_003.html"},{"chamber":"Senate","date":"03/25/2026 03:24:28 PM","amendment":"L.002","hearing":"SEN Transportation & Energy","vote":"Passed*","url":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/DA7486A7ABEFFE1887258DC50069BA16/SB141_L.002.pdf","url_html":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/DA7486A7ABEFFE1887258DC50069BA16/SB141_L_002.html"}],"session_laws_files":"","votes":[{"vote_id":"5699","chamber":"SENATE","action":"Third Reading","date":"04/13/2026", "vote_date_time":"04/13/2026 10:34:29 AM","lay_over_date":"", "motion":"BILL","vote_yes":28,"vote_no":7,"vote_others":0,"vote_result":"Aye: 28 No: 7 Other: 0", "voice_vote":"N","vote_abs":0,"vote_exc":0,"vote_17C":0,"vote_17D":0, "url":"https://www.leg.state.co.us/CLICS/CLICS2026A/cslVotes.nsf/0/8B97D49980870F9B87258DD8005B0CDC?OpenDocument","member_votes":[{"last_name":"Amabile","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Baisley","vote":"N"},{"last_name":"Ball","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Benavidez","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Bridges","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Bright","vote":"N"},{"last_name":"Carson","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Catlin","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Cutter","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Danielson","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Daugherty","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Exum","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Frizell","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Gonzales J.","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Hinrichsen","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Jodeh","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Kipp","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Kirkmeyer","vote":"N"},{"last_name":"Kolker","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Lindstedt","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Liston","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Marchman","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Mullica","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Pelton B.","vote":"N"},{"last_name":"Pelton R.","vote":"N"},{"last_name":"Rich","vote":"N"},{"last_name":"Roberts","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Rodriguez","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Simpson","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Snyder","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Sullivan","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Wallace","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Weissman","vote":"Y"},{"last_name":"Zamora Wilson","vote":"N"},{"last_name":"President","vote":"Y"}]}]}
