Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to House Bill 1369 removes the requirement for higher education institutions in Colorado to contract with a specific online platform to help students access public benefits. Previously, these institutions were mandated to use a department-facilitated platform and were responsible for contributing financially to its use. By repealing this requirement, schools now have more flexibility in choosing how to provide students access to these benefits, which could better suit their specific needs and potentially reduce costs. This change aims to promote greater autonomy for educational institutions while ensuring students can still find and access necessary public resources.
