The fund consists of fees that the state treasurer credits to the fund pursuant to sections 42-4-505 (1)(d) and 42-4-510 (11)(c); gifts, grants, and donations; and any other money that the general assembly may appropriate or transfer to the fund.\n\n(2) The state treasurer shall credit all interest and income derived from the deposit and investment of money in the fund to the fund.\n\n(3) Money in the fund is continuously appropriated to the enterprise for the direct and indirect costs of serving its business purpose and in performing its powers and duties as the purpose, powers, and duties are set forth in section 43-4-1703 (2).\n\n(4) The department may transfer money from any legally available source to the enterprise for the purpose of defraying expenses incurred by the enterprise before it receives fee revenue or revenue bond proceeds. The enterprise may accept and expend any money so transferred, and, notwithstanding any state fiscal rule or generally accepted accounting principle that could otherwise be interpreted to require a contrary conclusion, such a transfer is a loan from the department to the enterprise that is required to be repaid and is not a grant for purposes of section 20 (2)(d) of article X of the state constitution or as defined in section 24-77-102 (7). All money transferred as a loan to the enterprise must be credited to the fund. As the enterprise receives sufficient revenue in excess of expenses, the enterprise shall reimburse the department for the principal amount of any loan made by the department plus interest at a rate set by the department.","path":["Title 43 - TRANSPORTATION","Article 4 - Financing","Part 17 - ROAD ENTERPRISE"],"source_url":"https://olls.info/crs/crs2026-title-43.htm","current_through":"Colorado Revised Statutes 2026","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:37:45Z","sha256":"ae9c1df9e466f1212c088f271cace003523d4402c1de5c095b9eeb7a2a2d6b0e","source_id":"us-co","stale":false,"prev":"us-co/c.r.s.-43-4-1703","next":"us-co/c.r.s.-43-4-1705"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
