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
This bill was signed into law by the Governor and took effect on June 8, 2022.
State Appropriations
For FY 2022-23, this bill requires and includes a General Fund appropriation of $267,065 and 0.9 FTE
to the Department of Human Services.
