HB 17-1239

HB 17-1239 is a bill that moves certain laws about private occupational schools from one part of Colorado’s legal books to another, making it easier for these schools to be regulated under new sections. This change affects private vocational and technical training institutions in the state. The bill has been signed into law, meaning the changes have now taken effect and these schools are governed by the new regulations outlined in the updated statutes.
