Summary of Legislation
The bill creates the Disordered Eating Prevention Program in the Department of Public Health and
Environment (CDPHE), to be established by July 1, 2024. The program must create a resource bank
for research, intervention methods, treatment resources, crisis services, awareness programs, and
educational resources regarding disordered eating prevention and care. In collaboration with the
Office of Suicide Prevention, the Behavioral Health Administration, the Department of Education, and
other organizations, the program must provide support to individuals with disordered eating,
facilitate public outreach, increase awareness regarding prevention and care, and prepare
culturally-specific written materials for primary care offices and providers throughout the state.
The bill also creates the Disordered Eating Prevention Research Grant Program to provide financial
assistance for research related to risk factors, impacts, and root causes of disordered eating. The grant
program repeals July 1, 2027. CDPHE is authorized to seek, accept, and expend gifts, grants, or
donations from private or public sources, and must report annually beginning November 1, 2025 on
recommendations and information regarding disordered eating prevention.
State Revenue
The bill may increase state revenue to the General Fund from gifts, grants, or donations; however, no
sources have been identified at this time. Gifts, grants, and donations are exempt from TABOR

Department of Public Health and Environment. The CDPHE will have costs to staff and implement
the new program, as described below.
Program staff. The CDPHE will require 1.0 FTE to create and maintain a resource bank for
disordered eating, coordinate with other agencies, facilitate public outreach, submit reporting
requirements, and develop guidelines for the grant program. The fiscal note assumes an April 1
start date for program support and reflects the General Fund pay date shift. Additional staff may
also be required in FY 2024-25 to administer the grant program; however, this depends on whether
grant funding is made available, as discussed below.
Translation. The office will translate resource bank material and other education and outreach
materials into relevant languages for distribution to impacted communities.
Printing. The office will print disordered eating prevention materials for primary care offices and
patients.
Grant program. The bill creates a grant program but does not specify funding for the program,
which is subject to available appropriations. If the legislature opts to make funding available,
expenditures will increase in CDPHE for grants administration activities and grant awards.
Other state agencies. The Department of Education and the Behavioral Health Administration within
the Department of Human Services will incur workload impacts to collaborate with CDPHE, which
can be accomplished within existing resources.
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.
Effective Date
The bill was signed into law by the Lieutenant Governor on May 30, 2023, and takes effect on
August 7, 2023, assuming no referendum petition is filed.
State Appropriations
For FY 2023-24, the bill requires and includes a General Fund appropriation of $26,679 to the
Department of Public Health and Enviornment, and 0.2 FTE.
