Bill	Health Care Coverage Easy Enrollment Program	The act creates the Colorado affordable health care coverage easy enrollment program (program) for the purpose of leveraging the tax filing process to connect uninsured Coloradans to free or subsidized health care coverage through a health care coverage affordability program, which includes medicaid, the children's basic health plan, or a subsidized health benefit plan, or other creditable coverage. The program will allow Coloradans to request on their state income tax returns that the Colorado health benefit exchange (exchange) assess whether uninsured household members are potentially eligible for free or subsidized health care coverage. If the tax filer requests that the eligibility of uninsured household members be assessed under the program, the tax filer will receive information about coverage options and assistance with enrollment.	us/states/co	Colorado General Assembly	2020A	HB 20-1236	Colorado HB 20-1236 (2020A)	bill		enacted	Jack Tate Jeff Bridges Perry Will Susan Lontine	10	18	6	2020-01-31T07:00:00+00:00	2020-07-06T06:00:00+00:00	openstates	ocd-bill/8ad5eed9-4dcf-4995-ac15-f60c420e7042	http://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb20-1236	751c1481e9a14d51fb23a9eb1d387552ad7d06dd845c9de2ddebb8c41656e5cb	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-co
