HB 25-1173

House Bill 25-1173, which has been signed into law, expands the role of an existing advisory board that works with Colorado's Office of School Safety. Originally, this board focused on recommending policies for a school safety resource center within the office. Now, it will also provide policy advice for all parts of the Office of School Safety, not just the center. This change affects how schools receive guidance and support regarding crisis management and safety-related funding. Since the bill is signed, its provisions are now in effect and being implemented by the state.
