Summary of Legislation
The bill repeals the Colorado Career Advisor Training Program in the Colorado Department of
Education.
Background
The Colorado Career Advisor Training Program was created in Senate Bill 22-165 to support
training for career advisors. The department has developed an online course and several other
online tools for career advisors and advisees.
State Expenditures
By eliminating the program, the bill reduces state General Fund expenditures in the Colorado
Department of Education by $1.0 million per year beginning in the current FY 2024-25. It is
assumed that current projects funded by the program will be wrapped up using existing funds
from FY 2023-24. As a result, the reduction in expenditures from repealing the program is
expected to begin in the current FY 2024-25.
Effective Date
The bill takes effect upon signature of the Governor, or upon becoming law without his
signature.
State Appropriations
For FY 2024-25 and FY 2025-26, the bill reduces required General Fund appropriations to the
Colorado Department of Education by $1,000,000. It is assumed that this reduction will be made
in the Long Bill, rather than in this bill.
