DENVER â The Colorado Joint Budget Committee has released its appropriations bill, also known as the long bill, earlier than normal this year. Committee members say this yearâs budget is more focused on addressing funding inequities in the state.
The long bill covers the stateâs roughly $34.6 billion budget to fund everything from education to health to transportation.
After cutting billions last year, the economic forecast for the state is looking much more promising this year, meaning some cuts can be restored and lawmakers can focus on targeted investments.
