During the General Assembly’s Special Session, the Senate Transportation Committee voted 3-2 along party lines to postpone indefinitely, legislation that would have restored funding to Special Districts. Earlier this year during the regular legislative session, funding from retail marijuana sales was accidentally removed for Special Districts because of an error in Senate Bill 267.
"While we disagree with and are disappointed by the decision of the Senate Transportation Committee regarding the inadvertent exemption of funding to Special Districts, we appreciate the time and effort of the General Assembly during this Special Session. We remain available and committed to working with the Legislature, the Administration, our stakeholders and the business community to make certain that Special District funding is fully restored," said David Genova, RTD general manager and CEO.
