Summary of Legislation
This sunset bill continues the Domestic Violence Offender Management Board in the Department of
Public Safety (CDPS) until September 1, 2033. It is currently scheduled to repeal on September 1, 2022.
The bill also implements two recommendations from the sunset report. First, the board must conduct
compliance reviews on at least five percent of approved treatment providers each year. Second, the
bill updates background check requirements in statute to conform to current practice.
Background
When an adult is convicted of a crime involving domestic violence, that person is required to complete
domestic violence treatment, unless sentenced to the Department of Corrections. The Domestic
Violence Offender Management Board develops and maintains standards for the evaluation and
treatment of domestic violence offenders, develops processes to approve treatment providers, and
analyzes the effectives of evaluation and treatment standards. Treatment providers pay a fee to apply
for placement on the approved provider list. While this fee revenue defrays a portion of the board’s
operating costs, most of the its funding comes from the General Fund. For more information on the
board’s duties and activities, see the sunset report compiled by the Department of Regulatory
Agencies at https://coprrr.colorado.gov/archive-of-reviews.
Continuing Program Impacts
Based on the department's FY 2021-22 budget request, the Department of Public Safety is expected to
have revenue of about $30,000 and expenditures of about $360,000 to administer the board. If this bill
is enacted, current revenue and expenditures will continue for the program starting in FY 2023-24.
This continuing revenue is subject to the state TABOR limits. If this bill is not enacted, the program
will end on September 1, 2023, following a wind-down period, and state revenue and expenditures
will decrease starting in FY 2023-24 by the amounts shown in Table 1. The changes to the program
that drive additional costs are discussed in the State Expenditures section below.

the General Fund. Expenditures are shown in Table 2 and detailed below.

Department of Public Safety. The bill requires the department to additional compliance checks each
year. Because the sunset report notes that the department has not kept up with checks as currently
required, the fiscal note estimates that the bill requires 1.0 FTE in additional staff to communicate with
stakeholders, conduct the additional compliance checks, and follow up on compliance outcomes.
Expenditures are prorated for the bill’s effective date and account for the General Fund pay date shift
in FY 2022-23.
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 the new appropriations estimated in the fiscal note, the bill is expected to increase the amount of
General Fund held in reserve by the amounts in Table 1, which will decrease the amount of General
Fund available for other purposes.
Effective Date
The bill takes effect 90 days following adjournment of the General Assembly sine die, assuming no
referendum petition is filed. Page 4
