HB 26-1369

House Bill 26-1369, which has been signed into law, removes a requirement for Colorado’s Department of Higher Education to contract with an online platform that helps students access public benefits like financial aid or health services. This change affects both public and private higher education institutions in the state. Now that it is signed, the bill no longer requires these institutions to use this specific online platform, giving them more flexibility in how they assist students with accessing important public benefits.
