Colorado should fund the state Child Tax Credit

The Child Tax Credit (CTC) is the largest federal tax code provision benefiting working families with children. It is a proven, targeted way to reduce childhood poverty and put money back into the pockets of Colorado families. The Colorado Legislature is considering a bill that would fully fund a state-level Child Tax Credit, HB 19-1164. A state Child Tax Credit will put millions back into local economies and provide better outcomes for children in low- and moderate-income families. It is an investment in our families and children that encourages and rewards work and provides better educational and economic outcomes over a lifetime.
