HB 26-1355

HB 26-1355, which has been signed into law, changes how Colorado funds its out-of-school time program grant. Instead of being required by law to provide money for this program in the 2026-27 fiscal year, the state legislature now has the choice whether or not to fund it. This affects programs that support activities like after-school clubs and tutoring for kids when they're not in school. Since the bill is signed, it means these programs won't automatically get funding next year but will depend on decisions made by lawmakers.
