Crime Victim Services Funding

Concerning funding for crime victim services.
Session:
2023 Regular Session
Subjects:
Human Services
State Government
Bill Summary

The bill requires the general assembly to annually appropriate, at a minimum, the following amounts for crime victim services, in addition to other statutorily required appropriations:

  • $3 million to the victims and witnesses assistance and law enforcement fund for allocation to judicial districts;
  • $4.5 million to the state victims assistance and law enforcement fund; and
  • $7.5 million to the state domestic violence and sexual assault services fund for domestic violence, sexual assault, or culturally specific programs.

The general assembly is permitted to appropriate less than $3 million to the victims and witnesses assistance and law enforcement fund for allocation to judicial districts and instead appropriate that money to the Colorado crime victim services fund or the state victims assistance and law enforcement fund.

Under existing law, the Colorado crime victim services fund and the state domestic violence and sexual assault services fund are scheduled for repeal in 2027. The bill continues both funds indefinitely.
