HB26-1389 Eliminates Annual Appropriation Requirement for Comprehensive Human Sexuality Education Grant Program
Summary
Colorado House Bill HB26-1389 would eliminate the requirement that the General Assembly annually appropriate money to the Department of Public Health and Environment for the comprehensive human sexuality education grant program. The bill is sponsored by Representatives Kyle Brown and Emily Sirota and Senators Judy Amabile and Barbara Kirkmeyer. It is currently under consideration in the House Appropriations Committee.
What changed
The bill eliminates the mandatory annual General Assembly appropriation requirement for the comprehensive human sexuality education grant program administered by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. This changes the current funding mechanism from a standing annual appropriation to a discretionary appropriations process. The bill also reduces a stated appropriation amount.
Affected parties including sex education program providers and grant recipients should monitor legislative progress, as changes to funding mechanisms could affect program stability and long-term planning. The shift from mandatory annual appropriation to discretionary funding gives the legislature more annual control over program expenditures.
What to do next
- Monitor legislative progress of HB26-1389
- Contact program administrators for impact assessment
