Status: Governor signed (April 25, 2025)
Introduced: March 31, 2025
Primary sponsors: Shannon Bird; Rick Taggart; Barbara Kirkmeyer; Jeff Bridges
Cosponsors: J. Amabile; E. Sirota

Purpose / Intent

SB 25-215 repeals the statutory authority that establishes the Colorado Student Leaders Institute (CSLI). The bill’s stated effect is to remove the institute from Colorado law, thereby terminating its legal existence and any statutory duties or authorities that were tied to it.

Key provisions (high-level)

  • Repeal of the statute(s) that create and govern the Colorado Student Leaders Institute.
  • Removal of any statutory mandate for state agencies, boards, or officers to operate, fund, or otherwise support the Institute (as contained in the repealed statute).
  • No committee or floor amendments were recorded during legislative consideration; the bill passed both chambers and was signed by the Governor.

Note: The text of the bill is not provided here. For exact statutory sections repealed and any transitional or savings clauses (e.g., disposition of funds, records, contracts, or ongoing obligations), consult the enacted bill text and the final session laws.

Who is affected

  • Students who participated in CSLI programs and any associated alumni networks.
  • School districts, educational nonprofits, or local partners that collaborated with or received support from CSLI.
  • State education agencies or other state entities that administered, contracted for, or funded the Institute.
  • Any existing contracts, grants, or appropriations tied specifically to CSLI (subject to details in the bill and fiscal documents).

Legislative timeline / procedural notes

  • Introduced in the Senate: March 31, 2025 (assigned to Appropriations)
  • Passed Senate (unamended) and referred through Appropriations: April 1–2, 2025
  • House consideration and Appropriations referral: April 3–10, 2025 (passed on third reading, no amendments)
  • Signed by President of the Senate and Speaker of the House: April 15–16, 2025
  • Sent to Governor: April 16, 2025
  • Governor signed the bill: April 25, 2025

Impact and next steps

Because the summary here is based on legislative actions rather than the bill text, review the enacted bill language and the legislative fiscal note to determine:
- The specific statutory sections repealed
- The effective date of repeal
- Any transitional provisions addressing funding, contracts, student records, or ongoing obligations

Those documents will provide definitive details on implementation, budgetary impact, and any required administrative steps.
