HB26-1369 Repeals Online Platform Contracting Requirement for Higher Education Public Benefits
Summary
Colorado House Bill HB26-1369 would repeal the requirement for the Department of Higher Education to contract for an online platform used by higher education institutions to assist students in accessing public benefits. The bill is sponsored by Representatives Kyle Brown and Rick Taggart and Senator Judy Amabile. The bill is currently under consideration in the House Appropriations Committee.
What changed
HB26-1369 would remove the existing statutory requirement for Colorado's Department of Higher Education to contract for an online platform used by higher education institutions (public or private) to help students access public benefits.
Higher education institutions in Colorado that were required to use this online platform for public benefits assistance would no longer have that contracting obligation if this bill passes. The repeal would eliminate an administrative burden and associated contracting costs for affected institutions.
