Bill	Assignment of Child Support Foster Youth	Current Colorado law requires that a decree providing for placement of a child with a public agency be accompanied by a court order that obligates the child's parent to pay a fee, based on the parent's ability to pay. The fee covers the costs of a guardian ad litem and of providing for residential care of the child. The act removes the requirement for a court order obligating a child's parent to pay the fee for residential child care and guardian ad litem costs. Instead, the act authorizes a delegate child support enforcement unit to impose a fee only when a county child welfare unit determines a referral is appropriate in accordance with rules promulgated by the state board of human services (state board). The act removes the requirements that this fee be based on a parent's ability to pay and that the fee cover the cost of a guardian ad litem.	us/states/co	Colorado General Assembly	2024A	SB 24-202	Colorado SB 24-202 (2024A)	bill		enacted	Elisabeth Epps Junie Joseph Rhonda Fields	8	13	2	2024-04-08T06:00:00+00:00	2024-05-22T06:00:00+00:00	openstates	ocd-bill/61a8cae9-3fdc-48a9-be1a-4c38a97e8493	https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb24-202	ca3aaa51b431f95f62b4d1002840cbb0199bbed09639ad3c26c2be032d999207	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-co
