Information about HB25-1137 and the goal of making a more transparent and well governed Pet Overpopulation Fund
Why HB25-1137 Mattered
More Funding for Spay/Neuter and TNR: The bill guarantees that a significant portion of the CPOF budget goes directly to spay/neuter programs and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) initiatives, which are proven to reduce pet overpopulation and improve community cat welfare.
Support for Rural Colorado: The bill prioritizes funding for rural animal welfare organizations, ensuring that underserved communities have the resources to care for their animals.
Increased Transparency and Accountability: By requiring the CPOF to publicly disclose grant recipients, amounts, and board members, the bill promotes accountability and ensures that funds are used responsibly.
