Meeting information

  • The committee meets on the third Friday of each month from 1 to 4:30 p.m. Committee meetings are open to the public.

The Tobacco Review Committee is a 16-member working advisory board that develops funding priorities, reviews grant applications, and makes recommendations to the Board of Health for the grant program. Volunteer members are appointed by the Board of Health, the Legislature, and our executive director, and serve a three-year term. 

The Tobacco Education, Prevention and Cessation Grant Program Review Committee was created in 2005 by Amendment 35 (House Bill 05-1262) with the responsibility for “ensuring that program priorities are established consistent with the Colorado tobacco prevention and control strategic plan, overseeing program strategies and activities, and ensuring that the program grants are in compliance with Section 25-3.5-805” of the Colorado Revised Statutes. (CRS 25-3.5-804 (5)).

In 2004, Colorado voters approved Amendment 35, a tax increase on cigarettes and other tobacco products. The revenue was designated for health care services and tobacco education to improve the health of all Coloradans.

Amendment 35 (A35), state tobacco tax revenue, grant programs conduct three-year funding cycles according to the state fiscal year (July 1-June 30). All award funding is contingent upon the spending authority of each program and appropriations by the state legislature.
