SB 17-052

Senate Bill 17-052 is a Colorado bill that makes two changes to state education laws. First, it updates the date for counting student enrollment from October 1 to match how other parts of the law refer to this count day. Second, it removes outdated references to "accredited independent school" and "accredited nonpublic school" since these types of schools are no longer accredited by the state board of education. The bill has been signed into law, meaning these changes have now taken effect.

Official Summary

Statutory Revision Committee. The bill implements 2 recommendations related to title 22 from the department of education to the statutory revision committee. The first recommendation is to change the single remaining statutory reference in title 22 that names October 1 as a mileage or pupil enrollment count date to the 'pupil enrollment count day, as defined in section 22-54-103 (10.5)' in order to conform with the rest of the references in title 22. The second recommendation is to delete from statute the phrases 'accredited independent school' and 'accredited nonpublic school' because the state board of education does not accredit either type of school. (Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
