Fiscal Note
Memorandum
April 4, 2024
TO: Members of the House Appropriations Committee
FROM: Aaron Carpenter, Senior Fiscal Analyst
aaron.carpenter@coleg.gov | 303-866-4918
SUBJECT: Fiscal Assessment of Proposed Amendment HB1350_L.007
This memorandum is an assessment of the fiscal impact of the attached proposed amendment
L.007 to HB 24-1350. This fiscal assessment is for the impact of the bill with inclusion of this
amendment only. Any other added amendment could influence the fiscal impact.
Summary of Proposed Amendment
Amendment L.007 removes the requirement that the Office of the State Court Administrator
publish and update information on its website regarding upcoming trainings for family
investigators and evaluators.
Fiscal Impact of Amendment
By removing the requirement to publish information about trainings, Amendment L.007
eliminates the state General Fund expenditures identified in the fiscal note dated April 3, 2024,
as the Judicial Department will no longer require 1.0 FTE to develop a training and contract with
a training facilitator. The fiscal note assumed this was required because no programs are
currently available that offer 20-hour domestic violence and child abuse to family investigators
and evaluators.
Bill’s Revised Fiscal Impact with Amendment
With Amendment L.007, no appropriation is required. The bill will minimally increase workload
for the Judicial Department to update its case management system to collect and post the data
required by the bill. Any increase in trial court workload is also expected to be minimal.
