Correction of Military Children Compact Citation
Summary
Colorado HB26-1294 corrects an incorrect statutory citation within the definition of "active duty" for purposes of the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children. The bill passed both chambers unanimously with no amendments and was referred to the Senate Committee of the Whole on consent calendar.
What changed
The bill corrects a misreferenced citation in the definition of "active duty" contained in the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children. This is a technical correction that does not alter the substantive rights or obligations under the compact—it merely fixes an erroneous cross-reference in the statutory text.
Regulated entities such as schools, school districts, and military installations that reference or administer provisions related to the interstate compact for military children should verify their policies and procedures reflect the corrected citation once the bill is signed into law. No immediate action is required as this is a clerical fix rather than a policy change.
