Colorado Revised Statutes Title 24. Government State § 24-75-220. State education fund--transfers--surplus--legislative declaration

(3)(a) The general assembly hereby finds and declares that Senate Bill 13-234, enacted in 2013, required the state treasurer to transfer moneys from the general fund to the old hire plan members' benefit trust fund created in section 31-31-701(6), C.R.S., to satisfy the state's future required payments. This transfer reduced the amount of the general fund surplus that would otherwise have been transferred to the state education fund created in section 17(4) of article IX of the state constitution under subsection (2) of this section. The transfers in paragraph (b) of this subsection (3) are intended to reimburse the state education fund for this reduced transfer and they represent the amount the state would have contributed to the old hire plan member's benefit trust fund in the absence of the early pay off.
