Summary of Legislation
This bill requires that student identification cards (IDs) issued to a public school student contain the
phone number, website address, and text talk number for Colorado Crisis Services. If the school does
not issue ID cards, the school must request and display outreach materials from Colorado Crisis
Services. The bill also requires that the Department of Human Services (DHS) annually notify each
Colorado public school that it can provide outreach materials explaining the programs and services
offered by Colorado Crisis Services. The outreach materials must be provided to schools upon
request.
State Expenditures
This bill will increase General Fund expenditures by $165,450 and 0.4 FTE in FY 2022-23 and $166,932
and 0.5 FTE in the Office of Behavioral Health in the DHS, as shown in Table 2 and described below.

Centrally appropriated costs are not included in the bill's appropriation.
Staffing costs. The Office of Behavioral Health requires 0.5 FTE to coordinate the annual
notification of schools, answer questions regarding Colorado Crisis Services, as well as ship
outreach materials to schools upon request. This is prorated to 0.4 FTE in FY 2022-23 to account
for the effective date and General Fund paydate shift.
Marketing materials. DHS currently has outreach kits that include posters, wallet cards, brochures,
and one-page flyers explaining Colorado Crisis Services. This fiscal note assumes that these kits
will be shipped to 80 percent of all state public schools, approximately 1,864 schools at a cost of
$65.00 per kit, or $121,160. This estimate includes district, charter, innovation, and online schools.

Centrally appropriated costs. Pursuant to a Joint Budget Committee policy, certain costs associated
with this bill are addressed through the annual budget process and centrally appropriated in the Long
Bill or supplemental appropriations bills, rather than in this bill. These costs, which include employee
insurance and supplemental employee retirement payments, are shown in Table 2.
Other Budget Impacts
General Fund reserve. Under current law, an amount equal to 15 percent of General Fund
appropriations must be set aside in the General Fund statutory reserve beginning in FY 2022-23. Based
on this fiscal note, the bill is expected to increase the amount of General Fund held in reserve by
$23,804 in FY 2022-23 and $23,793 in FY 2023-24, which will decrease the amount of General Fund
available for other purposes.
School Districts
It is assumed that schools will incorporate the required information into all IDs issued starting with
the 2022-23 school year, which will result in a minimal one-time increase in workload and costs for
school districts to make changes to the ID card template. School districts that do not issue new student
IDs to all students each year will have additional one-time costs to reissue IDs that comply with the
bill, estimated to cost between $2.00 and $3.00 per ID. These reprinting costs will vary by district and
have not been estimated. Once the required information is added to the ID template, ongoing costs
of compliance are expected to be minimal.
Effective Date
The bill takes effect upon signature of the Governor, or upon becoming law without his signature.
State Appropriations
For FY 2022-23, this bill requires a General Fund appropriation of $158,690 and 0.4 FTE to the
Department of Human Services.
