Bill	Definition Of Early College High Schools	Joint Budget Committee. Under the existing statute, an early college is not subject to the requirements of the 'Concurrent Enrollment Programs Act'. The bill amends the definition of 'early college' to specify that an early college must provide only a curriculum that is designed to be completed within 4 years and includes concurrent enrollment in high school and postsecondary courses such that, when a student completes the curriculum, the student has attained a high school diploma and a postsecondary credential or at least 60 credit hours toward completion of a postsecondary credential. The state board of education must review all of the schools that it has designated as early colleges to ensure that each school meets the revised definition. A school that does not meet the revised definition will no longer be designated as an early college.	us/states/co	Colorado General Assembly	2018A	SB 18-225	Colorado SB 18-225 (2018A)	bill		enacted	Kent Lambert Millie Hamner	9	13	2	2018-04-02T06:00:00+00:00	2018-06-06T06:00:00+00:00	openstates	ocd-bill/8fb89e09-72ca-4ab2-b5d1-4af896b0f2bd	http://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb18-225	5503095f86313f7252f59ee8dd7b5b1883d267838c65c7282cc5627a061db6b2	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-co
