Rerevised → Final Act · 4 edits · May 26, 2026

MODERATE

This bill clarifies how Colorado school districts can direct a portion of their state funding directly to the Department of Labor and Employment for school-to-work alliance programs.

School districts must now submit written instructions to the state board by the fifth day of the first month to direct funds to the Department of Labor and Employment.

DEFINITION

The bill explicitly defines direct transfers for school-to-work programs as not counting toward the state fiscal year spending limit in the constitution.

TECHNICAL

Removed draft headers, reading dates, and committee notes that were present in the previous version but are not part of the final law.

Reorganized the document structure to reflect the final enacted format, removing introductory text about the bill summary and joint budget committee notes.
