DENVER (KDVR) -- Colorado Gov. Jared Polis submitted the proposed state budget for 2025 to 2026, which suggests putting millions into education and safety. Every year, the governor, elected officials and state agencies submit annual budget requests to the legislature to fund specific state services. This can include health care, human services, education and Colorado roads. Denver City Council approves 2025 proposed budget In April, Polis signed the 2024-25 state budget with measures that fully funded Colorado schools, created investments into public safety and created new housing. Now, the next state budget is on its way to be determined. Proposed 2025-2026 Colorado budget Earlier in November, Polis announced what the proposed budget would fund, now, he's allotted the amount and submitted the budget to the Joint Budget Committee. The budget requests a total of $46.1 billion which includes a $17.8 billion general fund. Here's what the proposed budget suggests, according to Polis: $15 million to first responder efficiency - This would support and sustain Colorado’s emergency and operational communications dispatching system. $7.6 million to expand capacity at mental health hospital - This would help expand the Colorado Mental Health Hospital in Fort Logan for competency restoration, which would accommodate more individuals involved in crime. $6.1 million to expand halfway houses - This would go towards Community Corrections to expand the capacity at facilities often known as “halfway houses.” Polis said this would be a less expensive alternative to traditional incarceration facilities. $3.4 million to crime prevention - The funding would go toward the Crime Prevention Through Safer Streets program. Polis said this program supports local governments and law enforcement agencies to help make physical infrastructure and security improvements, like improved lighting, which could reduce crime and make neighborhoods safer.  $1.7 million for at-risk youth - Polis said this would increase the bed cap for youth detention to reflect increasing demands across the state and provide more services for at-risk youth. $115 million to education - This would be taken from the General Fund and go to the Total Program funding for education. This would be to preserve a significant balance in the State Education Fund and make sure the state never has to go back to a Budget Stabilization Factor. $13.5 million to specific groups of students - This would be from categorical funding to specific groups of students and student needs, including special education, transportation, English language proficiency and career and technical education. $3.4 million to support younger students - This would be from the repurposed funding to provide greater support to young students with reading deficiencies (kindergarten to third grade). The budget still has a long way to go. The Colorado General Assembly said the "long bill" will be announced in March, which will include funding for most state expenditures.
