HB 17-1140

House Bill 17-1140, which has been signed into law, allows the Colorado School of Mines to use its state fee-for-service contract money for more than just scholarships and tuition support. The bill permits the school to fund additional student services like counseling, academic support, recruiting efforts, and pre-college programs. This change will benefit current and future students by providing them with a wider range of support services. Since it has been signed, the bill is now law and the School of Mines can start using these funds for the new purposes outlined in the bill.
