Bill > HB1294

This bill, titled "Fix Incorrect Citation Compact Military Children," aims to correct a specific legal reference within Colorado's existing law that governs the "Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children." The core change involves updating the definition of "active duty" within this compact. Previously, the law cited "Section" 10 U.S.C. 1209 and 1211, but this bill inserts the word "CHAPTERS" before these numbers, correcting the citation to accurately reflect the relevant federal statutes that define active duty for members of the National Guard and Reserve. The Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children is a national agreement designed to help military children transition more smoothly between schools as their families relocate due to military service, and this minor amendment ensures the legal framework supporting it is accurate.
