The powers and duties of the council are expanded and articulated.

On or before October 1, 2018, the department shall designate, from interested applicants, a Colorado nonprofit organization (nonprofit) to perform the duties and responsibilities of the disabled parking education program that, under current law, is under the purview of the council. On or before December 1, 2019, the council shall make a recommendation to the department concerning whether or not to contract with the nonprofit to administer the disabled parking program for an addition year or to return the duties to the council.

The council is scheduled for a sunset review prior to repeal in September 2023.
