The Colorado Auto Theft Prevention Authority was established by Senate Bill 08-060 in 2003. The program has awarded approximately $4 million dollars annually which has been used by the programs partners to reduce auto theft in Colorado by 56 percent. This 56 percent decrease in auto theft has translated into a savings of $77 million dollars to the citizens of Colorado. The program has established a strong foundation in which to build the CATPA Strategic Plan. This plan has been developed to provide all the partners with a blueprint and common goals to take this program to the next level as a national leader in auto theft prevention.

The Conservation Easement Tax Credit Performance Audit seeks to determine whether there are effective internal controls in place at the Department of Revenue (DOR) and the Division of Real Estate (DRE) to ensure that conservation easement tax credits claimed and issued by taxpayers are valid. Recommendation 10 of the Performance Audit directs the DRE and DOR to evaluate options for protecting the State's investment in tax-credit-generating conservation easements when the conservation easement holder is no longer certified. The recommendation addresses the need to ensure the long-term value and benefit of the tax credit and notes that the State does not currently retain any long-term rights to ensure that conservation easements are maintained in perpetuity.
