HB 25-1308 — Office of Information Technology & Extend Annual Report Deadline

Status: Governor signed (May 24, 2025). Effective date: August 6, 2025 (assumes no referendum).

Purpose

Adjust the timing for the Office of Information Technology’s (OIT) first required annual report from the Colorado Statewide Longitudinal Data System (SLDS), giving OIT additional time to prepare and deliver the initial analysis of education and workforce data.

Key provisions

  • Amends Colorado Revised Statutes § 24-37.5-125(7)(b)(I).
  • Changes the deadline for the first annual SLDS report from April 15, 2026 to September 15, 2026.
  • Maintains the recurring schedule that after the first report the office will submit the annual report each April 15 thereafter.
  • The annual report (subject to data availability) must summarize key findings on education and workforce outcomes and education/workforce readiness, and be submitted to:
    • the education committees of the Colorado House and Senate (or successor committees),
    • the State Board of Education,
    • the Governor.

Who is affected

  • Office of Information Technology (OIT): workload timing is adjusted for preparation of the first SLDS annual report.
  • State education and workforce stakeholders and policymakers: recipients of the report (legislative education committees, State Board of Education, Governor) — timing of first findings is delayed to September 2026.
  • Users of SLDS findings (state agencies, education institutions, workforce partners) may receive initial statewide analyses later than originally scheduled.

Fiscal and administrative impact

  • No fiscal impact on state or local governments; no appropriation required.
  • HB 24-1364 previously established the SLDS Cash Fund and transferred $5.0 million into the fund in FY 2024‑25 for OIT use through FY 2026‑27; this bill does not alter that funding.
  • The bill was recommended by the Joint Technology Committee.

Legislative/procedural timeline

  • Introduced: March 25, 2025
  • Passed both chambers (April 2025)
  • Sent to Governor: May 19, 2025
  • Governor signed: May 24, 2025
  • Effective: August 6, 2025 (subject to referendum rules)
