A link to the bill states where the collected money will go.
https://leg.colorado.gov/sites/default/files/documents/2024A/bills/2024a_1163_01.pdf

“The state’s fee will be used to develop, implement, maintain and administer the system and reimburse animal shelters for the cost of taking custody of a pet animal for which a caregiver cannot be located or has refused to take custody.”
