Summary

HB26-1416 proposes two transfers from the universal high school scholarship cash fund totaling $3.5 million: $1.2 million to the Colorado economic development fund and $2.3 million to the general fund, both scheduled for June 30, 2026. Sponsored by Representative Kenny Nguyen, Representative Kyle Brown, Senator Judy Amabile, and Senator John Carson, the bill passed the House Appropriations Committee and was referred unamended to the Committee of the Whole on April 24, 2026.

“The bill requires the state treasurer to transfer $1.2 million from the universal high school scholarship cash fund (fund) to the Colorado economic development fund and $2.3 million from the fund to the general fund on June 30, 2026.”

Why this matters

State agencies and educational institutions relying on the universal high school scholarship cash fund should monitor HB26-1416's progress through the Colorado legislature, as enactment would reduce the fund's balance by $3.5 million effective June 30, 2026, potentially affecting scholarship disbursement capacity.

About this source

The Colorado General Assembly publishes every bill, amendment, fiscal note, and committee report introduced during the legislative session through this feed. Around 140 entries a month while the legislature is in session, covering education, healthcare, workforce, environment, criminal justice, and tax. Colorado is one of the fastest-moving states for cannabis, healthcare reform, and worker protection legislation, so what gets introduced here often previews what other states will copy a year or two later. Watch this if you lobby in Colorado, advise multistate clients on regulatory creep, or track interstate trends in any of those areas. GovPing publishes each bill with the sponsor, status, and committee assignment.

What changed

HB26-1416 requires the Colorado state treasurer to transfer $1.2 million from the universal high school scholarship cash fund to the Colorado economic development fund and $2.3 million from the same fund to the general fund on June 30, 2026. The bill is currently in the legislative pipeline, having passed the House Appropriations Committee and been referred to the Committee of the Whole. Affected parties should monitor the bill's progress through the Colorado General Assembly as these transfers would reduce available balances in the scholarship cash fund if enacted.

The bill's passage through the Committee of the Whole and subsequent chambers would constitute a transfer of fiscal resources that may affect scholarship program funding levels and budget planning for related state programs.
