2021 Colorado Code|Title 24 - Government - State|Article 38 - Government Efficiency|Part 2 - Public-Private Initiatives|§ 24-38-201. Legislative Declaration

 The general assembly hereby finds and declares that state government should deliver public services in the most cost-effective and efficient manner, that nonprofit entities that contract for public services leverage the use of public funds with private donations, and that increasing opportunities for nonprofit entities to contract with state agencies will further the cost-effective and efficient delivery of public services. It is the intent of the general assembly in enacting this part 2 only to provide flexibility to state government so that it can deliver public services more cost-effectively and efficiently and not to establish or authorize the establishment of new programs.

  In order to implement the collection of state sales tax increment revenue, the resolution adopted by the commission approving a regional tourism project shall state that state sales taxes, if any, levied and collected after the effective date of the commission's approval of the project shall be divided and distributed by the department of revenue as follows:   The portion of state sales taxes collected within the boundaries of the regional tourism zone equal to the base year revenue shall be paid into the state treasury as such state sales taxes are normally collected and paid; and    The portion of sales tax revenue in excess of the base year revenue shall be allocated to and, when collected, paid into a special fund established by the financing entity. The financing entity shall segregate such revenue from other moneys of the financing entity, if any, and shall utilize such sales tax revenue solely to finance eligible costs incurred for the purpose of constructing the eligible improvements and implementing the regional tourism project. The special fund may be used, without limitation, to pay the principal of, the interest on, and any premiums due in connection with the bonds of, loans or advances to, or indebtedness incurred by, whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise, such financing entity for financing or refinancing, in whole or in part, a regional tourism project. Any excess state sales tax collections not allocated pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be paid into the funds of the state treasury.       State sales tax increment revenue, together with any investment income earned thereon, shall be construed and treated for all purposes as being assigned to, the property of, and the revenue of the applicable financing entity and shall not be construed or treated for any purpose as revenue or property of the state.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 24 - Government - State|Article 46 - Economic Development|Part 3 - Colorado Regional Tourism Act|§ 24-46-309. Commencement of Development

  Substantial work on a regional tourism project, including but not limited to the financing entity's issuance of bonds or other debt instruments, the repayment of which is secured by a pledge of the state sales tax increment revenue or the commencement of actual development or predevelopment, such as erecting permanent structures, excavating the ground to lay foundations, mass grading of the site, or work of a similar description that manifests an intention and purpose to complete the project shall commence within five years from the date of approval of the project by the commission.    If substantial work on the regional tourism project toward the goals specified in the application pursuant to section 24-46-304 does not commence within five years of approval by the commission, the commission may revoke or modify its approval of the financing entity or the regional tourism project. Revocation of approval may be appealed to the commission, which may reinstate its approval upon a showing of good cause for the delay. Any state sales tax increment revenue that the regional tourism project has generated from the time of the original approval for the project may remain dedicated to the project to the extent that it has been previously expended or pledged by the financing entity for the financing of eligible costs. If substantial work on the regional tourism project does not commence within one year of reinstatement of approval from the commission, the commission shall revoke approval of the project.    If the commission revokes its approval of the financing entity or the regional tourism project, the commission may require that any state sales tax increment revenue collected during that period, together with investment income earned thereon, that was not previously expended or pledged by the financing entity for the financing of eligible costs shall be refunded to the state treasurer, and no further moneys shall be remitted by the state.    In evaluating whether substantial work has been commenced for purposes of administering this section, the commission shall rely on the information and data supplied in the annual reports submitted pursuant to section 24-46-308. The commission shall have authority to revoke its approval of a financing entity or a regional tourism project only pursuant to this section.
