Summary

The committee accepted a consolidated packet of requests for information (RFIs), instructed staff to add omitted language on wolf depredation and to send a transmittal memo to affected agencies, and passed the RFI acceptance motion 6-0. Tom Dermody and other staff walked members through new and amended RFIs.

JBC staff presented a consolidated packet of RFIs — documents that request additional reporting or cost information from state agencies — and the committee approved the packet with additions and corrections.

Tom Dermody, budget committee staff, told members the stapled packet includes approved RFIs and highlights 10 bullets for new or revised RFIs. Members raised questions about whether early‑intervention language is included and asked for added touchpoints and clarity on reporting timelines. Kelly Shen and other staff acknowledged an omission: language and an RFI related to wolf depredation costs had been left out of the printed packet. Staff agreed to add the depredation-cost RFI and any requested implementation updates.

Vice Chair moved that the committee accept the finalized FY25–26 RFIs, including a separate memo regarding the Colorado Empowered Learning Program (CDE) and the additions discussed; the motion passed 6-0. Staff will finalize transmittal letters to affected agencies and track signatures.
