H.R. 3174 would exempt Colorado from a cap on funding , contained in Division A of Public Law 113-2 ( The Disaster Relief Appropriations Act , 2013 ) , from the Federal Aid Highways Emergency Relief program of $ 100 million per emergency incident . Under the bill , the Congressional Budget Office ( CBO ) estimates that $ 300 million of funds made available for the Emergency Relief Program in Public Law 113-2 would be used in Colorado to repair roads damaged by flooding in 2013 . The CBO estimates that by using those funds in Colorado in fiscal year 2014 instead of on emergency repair projects in other states in future years , the pace of spending of that money would be slightly faster over the 2014-2015 period but slower in later years and thus result in no net change in direct spending over the 2014-2023 period
