2021 Colorado Code|Title 26 - Human Services Code|Article 1 - Department of Human Services|Part 7 - Respite Care|§ 26-1-701. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:   On January 29, 2016, the respite care task force, created in section 26-1-601, completed a report with recommendations that was presented to the general assembly;    The implementation of the recommendations would benefit those in need of respite care throughout the life span of those in need of care;    It is widely recognized that caregivers often work twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week to provide services and may lack support and tools to live their best lives;    Caregivers need access to quality and competent respite care; and    Caregivers need to trust and depend upon individuals providing respite care services.       Therefore, it is the intent of the general assembly to allocate state funds to implement recommendations of the respite care task force.     History.

 It is the purpose of this article to promote the public health and welfare of the people of Colorado by providing, in cooperation with the federal government or independently, public assistance for needy individuals and families who are residents of the state and whose income and property are insufficient to meet the costs of necessary maintenance and services as determined by the state department and to assist such individuals and families to attain or retain their capabilities for independence, self-care, and self-support, as contemplated by article XXIV of the state constitution and the provisions of the social security act and the food stamp act. The state of Colorado and its various departments, agencies, and political subdivisions are authorized to promote and achieve these ends by any appropriate lawful means through cooperation with and utilization of available resources of the federal government and private individuals and organizations.

  No person otherwise qualified to receive public assistance shall be denied public assistance by reason of the fact that he is the owner of real estate occupied by him as a residence.    No person otherwise qualified shall be denied public assistance by reason of the fact that he is the owner of personal property which is exempt by the laws of Colorado from execution or attachment.      The state department, by its rules and regulations, may establish limitations on the value of real and personal property and other resources, not included in subsections (1) and (2) of this section, which may be available to an applicant or recipient without affecting his eligibility for public assistance.    For public assistance purposes, the value of residential or other real property shall be equal to the actual value of the property, as determined by the county assessor pursuant to article 1 of title 39, C.R.S.

Servs., 184 Colo. 136 , 518 P.2d 1174 (1974).   The intention of the general assembly was to exclude annuities and other income from personal property. Francis v. State Bd. of Soc. Servs., 184 Colo. 136 , 518 P.2d 1174 (1974).   Continuing eligibility depends on an absence of assets in excess of the maximum value fixed by statute, by whatever means acquired, including an accretion in value. Denver Dept. of Pub. Welfare v. Wysowatcky, 133 Colo. 153 , 292 P.2d 735 (1956).   Excess assets must be expended in self-support. A recipient who acquires a sum in excess of the amount which determined his need for aid becomes immediately ineligible for benefits until the excess which determines his need for aid is expended in self-support. Denver Dept. of Pub. Welfare v. Wysowatcky, 133 Colo. 153 , 292 P.2d 735 (1956).   There being no presumption of equal ownership between spouses, evidence may be received to establish that half or more of the assets owned by one spouse belong to the other, but in the absence of such determination, the rule in Colorado is that one spouse may own property separate and apart from the other. Flavell v. Dept. of Welfare, 144 Colo. 203 , 355 P.2d 941 (1960).   There is no rule of law, statutory or otherwise, which permits the department of social services to indulge in the presumption that every person owns one-half of his spouse's assets. Flavell v. Dept. of Welfare, 144 Colo. 203 , 355 P.2d 941 (1960).   Railroad retirement annuities are immune from execution and attachment. Francis v. State Bd. of Soc.

  The state old age pension fund and the moneys allocated thereto pursuant to the provisions of article XXIV of the state constitution shall include amounts received from the incorporation fees and inheritance taxes imposed pursuant to subsection (2) of this section.      In addition to all other fees, charges, and impositions now fixed by law, there shall be assessed and collected, by the governmental department, person, or party in charge under whose jurisdiction the present collection is now required by law, the following fees, charges, sums, and impositions, which fees, charges, sums, and impositions shall be set aside, allocated, and allotted to the old age pension fund:   Ten percent additional amount of the fees which are due and paid to the secretary of state upon incorporation of any corporation or association for profit; and    Ten percent additional upon the amount of any tax payable under the provisions of the inheritance tax laws of this state.       In computing the amount of the additional tax or fee as provided in paragraph (a) of this subsection (2), the nearest multiple to five cents shall be taken in all cases.       Any and all of such funds collected by any state official or state department pursuant to subsection (2) of this section shall be paid over by such official or department to the state treasurer, who on the first day of each month shall divide and pay the same into each of the county old age pension accounts of the county social services funds in this state on the pro rata basis which the population of the respective county has to the population of the entire state according to the last official United States census.

Where 85 percent of certain revenue has been allocated by constitutional amendment to the old age pension fund, whatever constitutional prohibition, if any, theretofore existed as to the places of business producing that revenue, is suspended until a substitute revenue is provided. Golden v. People ex rel. Baker, 101 Colo. 381 , 74 P.2d 715 (1937).   Subsection (2)(a)(II) tax valid. The tax imposed by subsection (2)(a)(II) is an additional, not a separate and distinct, tax to that provided by the inheritance tax laws. In re Hunter's Estate, 97 Colo. 279 , 49 P.2d 1009 (1935).   The tax imposed by subsection (2)(a)(II) is not vulnerable to the objection that it lays an additional tax to that already authorized without amending the existing law.
