FOOTNOTES -- The following statements are referenced to the numbered footnotes throughout section 2.
33a Department of Health Care Policy and Financing, Totals; Department of Higher Education, College Opportunity Fund Program, Fe	e-for-service Contracts
with State Institutions, Fee-for-service Contracts with State In	stitutions for Specialty Education Programs; and Governing Boar ds, Regents of the University
of Colorado -- The Department of Higher Education shall transfer $800,000 to the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing for administrative costs
and family medicine residency placements associated with care provided by the faculty of the health sciences center campus at t	he University of Colorado
that are eligible for payment pursuant to Section 25.5-4-401, C.R.S. If the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services 	continues to allow the
Department of Health Care Policy and Financing to make supplemental payments to the University of Colorado School of Medicine, 	the Department of Higher
Education shall transfer the amount approved, up to $88,640,763, to the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing pursuant to Section 23-18-304(1)(c),
C.R.S. If permission is discontinued, or is granted for a lesse	r amount, the Department of Higher Education shall transfer any portion of the $88,640,763 that
is not transferred to the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing to the Regents of the University of Colorado. 
34 Department of Higher Education, Colorado Commission on Higher Education and Higher Education Special Purpose Programs, Specia l Purpose, Institute
of Cannabis Research Hosted at CSU - Pueblo -- Of the appr opriation in this line item, $500,000 remains available until the clo se of the 2024-25 fiscal year. 
34a
Department of Higher Education, Colorado Commission on Higher Education and Higher Education Special Purpose Programs, Special 	Purpose, Healthy
Forests and Vibrant Communities Fund at Colorado State University -- The amount in this line item includes a one-time appropria	tion of $2,000,000 General
Fund, which is intended to support 5.0 FTE at the Colorado State Forest Service over four years to implement Good Neighbor Auth	ority projects based on
agreements with federal agencies to accomplish forest management goals on federal lands.
35 Department of Higher Education, Colorado Commission on Higher Education and Higher Education Special Purpose Programs, Tuitio n/Enrollment
Contingency -- The Colorado Commission on Higher Education may transfer spending authority from this line item to the Governing Boards if tuition revenue
increases beyond appropriated levels. The spending authority for this line item is in addition to the funds appropriated direct	ly to the Governing Boards. It
is the General Assembly's intent that the Colorado Commission on Higher Education transfer spending authority from this line it	em to allow institutions to
receive and expend tuition revenue beyond appropriated levels that results from higher than expected enrollment and not to supp	ort tuition increases that exceed
the assumptions outlined in the footnotes for each governing board.
36 Department of Higher Education, Colorado Commission on Higher Education and Higher Education Special Purpose Programs, Indire ct Cost Assessments
--  This line item incorporates a reduction in indirect cost collections from the higher education governing boards. This chang	e reduces a double-count of
revenue under which the Department disburses funds to the institu tions and then counts indirect cost assessments received from the institutions as revenue
to the State's TABOR district. This change is expected to enab le the State to retain an additional $4,901,811 in General Fund r evenue under the State's	PAGE 18-HOUSE BILL 24-1186 APPROPRIATION FROM

37 Department of Higher Education, Colorado Commission on Higher Education Financial Aid, Work Study - Two percent of the Work S tudy appropriation
remains available for expenditure until the close of the 2024-25 state fiscal year. 
38 Department of Higher Education, Governing Boards, Trustees of Adams State University, Trustees of Colorado Mesa University, T rustees of Metropolitan
State University of Denver, Trustees of Western Colorado Univer sity, Board of Governors of the Colorado State University System , Trustees of Fort Lewis
College, Regents of the University of Colorado, Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines, University of Northern Colorado, and State Board for Community
Colleges and Occupational Education State System Community Colleges -- The amounts in these line items are calculated based on 	the assumption that no
undergraduate student with in-state classification will pay more tuition in FY 2023-24 than five percent over what a student wo uld have paid in FY 2022-23
for the same credit hours and course of study, except that the calculation for the University of Northern Colorado is based on 	the assumption that no
undergraduate student with in-state classification will pay more tuition in FY 2023-24 than six percent over what a student wou ld have paid in FY 2022-23
for the same credit hours and course of study and the calculatio n for Colorado Western University incorporates an assumption th at resident undergraduate
students enrolled in the university's engineering program will be assessed differential tuition that will result in a tuition i	ncrease of up to forty-nine percent
over what a student would have paid in FY 2022-23 for the same credit hours and course of study . These amounts are also calcul	ated based on the assumption
that each governing board will increase tuition rates for graduate 	and nonresident students based on its assessment of market c onditions. The General Assembly
intends to adjust the amounts in these line items through supplemental action during FY 	2023-24 based on updated enrollment estimates and tuition rate
information. 
39 Department of Higher Education, History Colorado, Central Administration; History Colorado Museums; and Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation
-- In addition to the transfer authority pr ovided in Section 24-75-108, C.R.S., History Colorado may transfer up to 10.0 percen	t of the total amount appropriated
in these sections between the sections and among the line items within the sections. 
40 Department of Higher Education, History Colorado, Cumbres and Toltec Railroad Commission -- The amount in this line item is 	calculated based on the
following assumptions: (1) This line item includes $240, 000 General Fund for annual Commission operating expenses and other routine ongoing costs
including controlled maintenance; (2) the balance of the General Fund appropriation, totaling $1,125,000, is for capital projec	ts including locomotive boiler
repair, passenger car upgrades, and track, bridge, and tunnel upgrades; and (3) the General Fund amount above the $240,000 ongo	ing operating support is
based on an analysis of the Railroad's capital outlay needs over 	a three year period and is not assumed to continue after FY 20 24-25. The amount in this line
item for capital projects remains available for expenditure until the close of the 2025-26 state fiscal year.
