Colorado HB1364 corrects the 2025 Consumer Price Index calculation by averaging the two semi-annual reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Colorado HB1364 addresses the calculation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the 2025 calendar year. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) did not determine the CPI for October 2025, leading to an overrepresentation of the first half of the year in the annual CPI calculation. The bill specifies that the CPI for 2025 should be determined by averaging the two semi-annual reports produced by the BLS for that year. This approach ensures equal weight is given to both halves of 2025, correcting the previous methodology that overweighted the first half.
