C.R.S. Section 25.5-1-122
County appropriation increases

  • limitations

(1)

Beginning in calendar fiscal year 1994 and for each calendar fiscal year thereafter to and including calendar fiscal year 1997, the board of county commissioners in each county of this state shall annually appropriate funds for the county share of the administrative costs of medical assistance in the county in an amount equal to the actual county share for the previous fiscal year adjusted by an amount equal to the actual county share for the previous fiscal year multiplied by the percentage of change in property tax revenue.

(2)

For the purposes of this section:

(a)

“County share” means the actual amount of the county share for the previous fiscal year. “County share” shall not include:

(I)

The amount expended by the county from the county contingency fund or the county tax base relief fund pursuant to section 26-1-126, C.R.S.;

(II)

The amount expended by the county for general assistance pursuant to part 1 of article 17 of title 30, C.R.S.; and

(III)

The amount expended by the county for programs or services provided by the county on its own, without requirements or funding from any other governmental agency.

(b)

“Percentage of change in property tax revenue” means the difference between the total property tax levied for the previous fiscal year less the amount levied for debt service for the previous fiscal year and the total property tax levied for the year for which the percentage of change in tax revenue is being calculated less the amount levied for debt service for the year in which the percentage of change in tax revenue is being calculated divided by the total property tax levied for the previous fiscal year less the amount levied for debt service for the previous fiscal year.

(3)

Notwithstanding the provisions of section 25.5-1-121, a county in the state shall not be required to contribute more than the amount set forth in subsection (1) of this section in any fiscal year. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the ability of a county to establish programs or services provided by the county on its own, without requirements or funding from any other governmental agency.
(4)(Deleted by amendment, L. 2008, p. 1812, § 3, effective June 2, 2008.)(5) Any amounts remaining in the county social services fund created in section 26-1-123, C.R.S., at the end of any fiscal year shall remain in the county fund for expenditure as determined by the board of county commissioners for administrative costs of public assistance, medical assistance, and food stamps, and program costs of public assistance and food stamps.

(6)

The limitation set forth in this section on the increase in the county share of the administrative costs of medical assistance will result in increased costs to the state. By making state funds available, the state is encouraging counties not to exercise any right a county may have pursuant to section 20 (9) of article X of the Colorado constitution to reduce or end its share of the costs of medical assistance administration for the county for three fiscal years following the fiscal year in which the state funds are received. If a county accepts funds from the state based on the limitation provided in this section for any fiscal year, the county agrees not to exercise any rights the county may have to reduce or end its share of the costs of medical assistance administration for the fiscal year in which the funds are accepted. Nothing in this subsection (6) or any agreement pursuant to this subsection (6) shall be construed to affect the existence or status of any rights accruing to the state or any county pursuant to section 20 (9) of article X of the Colorado constitution.
