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 and to send the information to parents or guardians at the beginning of each school year.  The 
bill also requires that the Department of Human Services (DHS) annually notify each Colorado public 
and private school about services provided by the behavioral health crisis response system along with 
educational materials explaining the programs and services offered by Colorado Crisis Services.   
State Expenditures 
This bill will increase General Fund expenditures in the DHS by $282,132 in FY 2022-23 and $283,614 
in FY 2023-24, as shown in Table 2 and described below.

 Centrally appropriated costs are not included in the bill's appropriation. 
   
Staffing.  The Office of Behavioral Health requires 1.0 FTE to coordinate the annual notification of 
schools, answer questions regarding Colorado Crisis Services, as well as ship outreach materials to 
schools.  This staff is prorated 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 all state schools, approximately 2,955 schools at a cost of $65.00 per kit.  This estimate 
includes district, charter, innovation, private schools 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.  Page 3

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 
amounts shown in Table 1, 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 $267,065 and 0.9 FTE to the 
Department of Human Services.
