HB 22-1265

House Bill 22-1265 extends the existence of the Education Data Advisory Committee (EDAC) indefinitely and gives it the power to decide if data requests from schools are mandatory, required for a benefit, or voluntary. If EDAC's decision differs from the Department of Education’s, the State Board of Education will hold a public hearing to resolve the issue. This bill is now signed into law, meaning that EDAC’s role and authority as described in the bill are officially established and enforceable.
