SB 25-217: Repeal Computer Science Education Grant Program - Colorado

Rerevised (04/10/2025) → Revised (04/09/2025) · 3 edits

MINOR

The bill text was updated from a 'Rerevised' version to a 'Revised' version, indicating that amendments adopted during the second reading in the Senate have been incorporated. The sponsor list was simplified by removing the name 'Taggart' from the House sponsorship section, likely due to a change in sponsorship or a formatting correction. No substantive policy changes, funding adjustments, or scope modifications were identified in the provided text.

TECHNICAL

The header was updated from 'REREVISED' to 'REVISED' to reflect that amendments were adopted on second reading in the Second House.

The date 'April 10, 2025' and the notation '3rd Reading Unamended' were removed from the header, likely because the document version is now reflecting a revised state rather than a final unamended reading.

The House sponsorship list was edited to remove the name 'Taggart', possibly indicating a change in co-sponsorship or a correction to the official list.
