Status: repealed

23-20-136. Fitzsimons trust fund - creation - legislative declaration - repeal. (1) The general assembly hereby finds and declares that the university of Colorado health sciences center will be moving to the former Fitzsimons Army base over the next several decades; that the health sciences center can expect a major portion of the move to take place in the next ten to fifteen years; that creation of a trust fund would allow the state to set aside funds over a period of years in order to have moneys available at the time the most costly capital construction requests would be expected to occur; and that, in addition to the state moneys to be dedicated to the trust fund, other sources of funding for the move are being sought from the federal government, private and public sources, and the health sciences center and university hospital.

(2) In light of the projected amounts of state revenues that will be available over the next six years, the general assembly hereby finds and declares that a stable, predictable, and consistent source of revenues for the university of Colorado health sciences center's move to the former Fitzsimons Army base will better allow the state to help fund such a move. In order to provide a consistent source of revenues, the general assembly further finds and declares that it is appropriate to create a trust fund that will be provided with an annual amount of principal and that will generate an annual amount of interest that is dedicated to the university of Colorado health sciences center's move to the former Fitzsimons Army base.

(3) (a) There is hereby created in the state treasury the university of Colorado health sciences center at Fitzsimons trust fund, referred to in this section as the "Fitzsimons trust fund", the principal of which shall consist of those general fund revenues that may be transferred to the capital construction fund as provided in section 24-75-302 (2), C.R.S., and then appropriated from the capital construction fund to the Fitzsimons trust fund and of moneys appropriated to the Fitzsimons trust fund from the capital construction fund pursuant to subsection (3.5) of this section. The principal and interest of the Fitzsimons trust fund shall not be expended or appropriated for any purpose other than that stated in subsection (5) of this section.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision of paragraph (a) of this subsection (3) to the contrary, on July 1, 2010, the state treasurer shall deduct three million four hundred forty-eight thousand five hundred thirty-seven dollars from the Fitzsimons trust fund and transfer such sum to the general fund.

(3.5) (a) For the 2016-17 fiscal year and for each fiscal year thereafter in which the state receives money pursuant to the master settlement agreement, and in which money is due to a lessor under a financed purchase of an asset or certificate of participation agreement authorized pursuant to section 3 of House Bill 03-1256, enacted in 2003, the state treasurer shall transfer to the capital construction fund and the state controller shall transfer from the capital construction fund to the Fitzsimons trust fund, except as otherwise provided in section 24-75-1104.5 (5), eight percent of the total amount received by the state pursuant to the master settlement agreement, other than attorney fees and costs, during the preceding fiscal year.

(4) On September 1, 1998, and on September 1 of each year thereafter, the state treasurer shall certify to the general assembly the amount of interest actually earned on the principal of the Fitzsimons trust fund during the previous fiscal year and shall provide an estimate of the interest expected to be earned on such principal during the current fiscal year.

(5) Money in the Fitzsimons trust fund may be appropriated to pay for capital construction projects for the university of Colorado health sciences center at the former Fitzsimons Army base that have received the prior approval of the board of regents of the university of Colorado, the Colorado commission on higher education, the capital development committee, the general assembly, and the joint budget committee or for payments on any financed purchase of an asset or certificate of participation agreement authorized pursuant to section 3 of House Bill 03-1256, as enacted at the first regular session of the sixty-fourth general assembly.

(6) The creation of the Fitzsimons trust fund shall in no way reduce or eliminate the opportunity of the university of Colorado health sciences center to seek funding for capital and controlled maintenance projects through the normal annual capital development committee prioritization process.

(7) All interest derived from the deposit and investment of moneys in the Fitzsimons trust fund shall be credited to said fund. At the end of any fiscal year, all unexpended and unencumbered moneys in the Fitzsimons trust fund shall remain therein and shall not be credited or transferred to the general fund or any other fund.

Status: in_force

23-7-112. Tuition classification for members of American Indian tribes with historical ties to Colorado - legislative declaration. (1) (a) The general assembly finds and declares that:

(I) Often due to circumstances beyond their control, many American Indian tribes and members of American Indian tribes have been forced to relocate across state lines, far from their historical home places. As a consequence, American Indian high school students often only receive in-state tuition eligibility in their state of current residence rather than the state their tribes traditionally called their ancestral home.

(II) Colorado includes the ancestral home places of at least forty-eight American Indian tribes;

(III) According to the United States census bureau current population survey, in 2016, only approximately nineteen percent of college-aged American Indian tribe members were enrolled in college, compared to approximately forty-one percent of the total college-aged population, the lowest percentage of all race and ethnicity groups surveyed; and

(IV) Further, in 2016, over twenty-six percent of American Indian people lived in poverty, the highest rate of any race group surveyed, with thirty-three percent of American Indian children under eighteen years of age living in poverty.

(b) Therefore, the general assembly declares that Colorado public universities and colleges should extend in-state tuition classification to American Indian students who are registered members of a federally recognized American Indian tribe with historical ties to Colorado.

(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of this article 7 to the contrary, beginning with the 2021-22 academic year, the governing board of each institution shall adopt a policy to grant in-state tuition classification to a student who is a registered member of a federally recognized American Indian tribe with historical ties to Colorado, as designated by the Colorado commission of Indian affairs, established pursuant to article 44 of title 24, in partnership with history Colorado.

(3) Beginning with the fall semester of the 2021-22 academic year, a student classified as an in-state student pursuant to this section:

(a) May be counted as a resident student for any purpose pursuant to this article 7;

(b) May be counted as a resident student for purposes of section 23-1-113.5; and

(c) Is eligible to participate in the college opportunity fund stipend pursuant to part 2 of article 18 of this title 23 and state-funded student financial assistance programs pursuant to article 3.3 of this title 23, and may be eligible for private financial aid programs.

(4) This section does not apply to Fort Lewis college due to its historic commitment to American Indian education. Furthermore, nothing in this section modifies or affects the American Indian pupil tuition waiver pursuant to section 23-52-105 (1)(b)(I).

23-31-1101. Legislative declaration
Status: in_force

23-31-1101. Legislative declaration. (1) The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:

(a) In September 2009, the federal centers for disease control and prevention reported that no state in the country was meeting national goals for the amount of fruits and vegetables that Americans should be eating. As a result, the centers for disease control and prevention identified, as a first strategy, the creation of food policy councils to improve the food environment and economies at the local, regional, and state levels.

(b) Food policy councils consist of multistakeholder organizations that employ a food systems approach that facilitates evaluation and program development at every stage of the food process from farm to table. By 2016, there were over two hundred twenty food policy councils throughout the United States addressing issues such as healthy food access, economic development, and food procurement. Colorado's food systems advisory council, which was created in 2010, has focused primarily on strengthening healthy food access for all Coloradans through the growth of Colorado agriculture and local food systems and economies.

(c) In 2017, Colorado state university, in partnership with the council and others, released the Colorado blueprint of food and agriculture that identified key assets, emerging issues, and shared priorities for future investments in food and agriculture throughout Colorado. The blueprint and the existing work of the council demonstrate that building local, regional, and state food economies will create jobs, stimulate statewide economic development, and circulate money from local food sales within local communities.

(d) The continuation and enhancement of the council is necessary to address the recommendations in the blueprint to support food system changes designed to grow local, regional, and statewide food economies within which agricultural producers have access to new markets and Colorado's population has improved access to fresh, affordable, and healthy foods; and

(e) Building robust, resilient, and long-term local and regional food economies in Colorado will preserve and protect the natural environment; increase consumer access to fresh, healthy, and safe foods; and provide greater food security for all Coloradans.

(1) The board of governors of the Colorado state university system, designated in this section as the "board", is authorized to enter into a contract for the advancement of moneys for the acquisition of facilities or equipment, or both, for the Colorado state university auditorium-gymnasium, and in connection with or as a part of such contract to pledge the net income, or any part of such net income, to be derived from such facilities or equipment, or both, so acquired, and to pledge special student fees assessed for the purpose of financing such facilities or equipment, or both, as security for the repayment of the moneys advanced therefor, together with interest thereon. For the same purpose, the board is also authorized to pledge the net income derived from any similar facility or equipment, or portion thereof, which was not acquired with moneys appropriated to Colorado state university, if such net income derived from such similar facility or equipment, or portion thereof, is unpledged or, if pledged, is currently in excess of the amount required to amortize the advancements and interest thereon for which such net income has been obligated.

(2) The board shall not pledge the general income of Colorado state university or create any mortgage upon property belonging to such institution or obligate the state of Colorado for the purpose of repaying or receiving any funds raised or advanced under the provisions of this section.

(3) Any advancement of moneys may be evidenced by revenue bonds or warrants to be executed by and on behalf of Colorado state university and containing such terms and provisions, including provisions for redemption prior to maturity and a maximum net effective interest rate, as may be determined by the board. Such revenue bonds or warrants shall bear interest at a rate such that the net effective interest rate of the issue of bonds does not exceed the maximum net effective interest rate fixed, which interest shall be payable semiannually or annually. Such revenue bonds or warrants may be sold at less than par, but they may not be sold at a price such that the net effective interest rate of the issue of bonds or warrants exceeds the maximum net effective interest rate fixed. Any such revenue bonds or warrants may be refunded if in the judgment of the board such refunding is to the best interests of the university.

(4) If the net income derived from such facilities or equipment so acquired under the provisions of this section exceeds the amount required for the amortization of any advancement made therefor, together with interest thereon, the board may apply such surplus to the redemption of such securities prior to maturity of such securities according to redemption provisions thereof, or such surplus net income may be used by the board for the purposes of altering or adding to any existing equipment or facilities acquired pursuant to the provisions of this section.

Status: in_force

23-31.3-101. University established - role and mission. (1) (a) There is established an online university to be known as Colorado state university - global campus, referred to in this article 31.3 as "CSU global campus". CSU global campus is a baccalaureate and graduate online university with the mission in Colorado of offering baccalaureate degree programs for nontraditional students in partnership with the Colorado community college system and selected master-level graduate programs. For baccalaureate degree students residing in Colorado, CSU global campus shall have moderately selective admission standards. CSU global campus shall comply with all applicable statutes and rules.

(b) CSU global campus shall not offer associate of arts, associate of science, or associate of applied science degrees, bachelor of applied science degrees, or career and technical certificate programs. Additionally, CSU global campus will not offer concurrent enrollment programs, state-funded supplemental academic instruction, or state-funded developmental education courses.

(2) (a) Online baccalaureate degree programs that will be offered to students residing in Colorado and that did not exist prior to August 6, 2014, are subject to review and approval by the Colorado commission on higher education. In determining whether to approve an online baccalaureate degree program, the Colorado commission on higher education shall consider:

(I) Whether the program is in the best interests of the state of Colorado;

(II) Whether the program is cost-effective for Colorado students; and

(III) Whether the program is sufficiently distinguishable from an existing online baccalaureate degree program being delivered by a state four-year institution of higher education, a state two-year institution of higher education, or jointly by a state two-year and state four-year institution of higher education.

(b) In determining whether to approve an online baccalaureate degree program pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection (2), the Colorado commission on higher education may consult with other state institutions of higher education.
C.R.S. § 23-1-131 — CO Code / Title 23 / Article 1 / Section 23-1-131
23-1-131. Commission directive - associate degree completion program - legislative declara
Status: in_force

23-1-131. Commission directive - associate degree completion program - legislative declaration - definitions. (1) (a) The general assembly finds and declares that, due to the demands of a global economy, the state and the nation have an increasing need for individuals with a postsecondary credential or degree. Many students begin their postsecondary education in a two-year institution and transfer to a four-year institution prior to receiving an associate degree. Some students who subsequently accumulate the credit hours necessary for an associate degree while at the four-year institution, or who leave the four-year institution prior to completing a bachelor's degree, would benefit from the award of an associate degree. The award of an associate degree not only rewards the student's efforts in attaining postsecondary education but also recognizes the investment of financial resources in postsecondary education by both the student and the state.

(b) Therefore, the general assembly declares that the state's two-year and four-year institutions should work in collaboration with the commission to develop a process that reduces a potential barrier to degree completion by providing students with information about the student's eligibility for an associate degree.

(2) As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires:

(a) "Associate degree" means an associate of arts or associate of science degree.

(b) "Four-year institution" means a state-supported institution of higher education that is authorized to grant baccalaureate degrees.

(c) "Two-year institution" means a state-supported institution of higher education, or a local district college, that is authorized to grant associate degrees.

(3) (a) The commission shall collaborate with the governing boards of the two-year and four-year institutions to develop and coordinate a process to notify students concerning eligibility for the award of an associate degree. The notification process shall apply to students at a four-year institution who have accumulated seventy credit hours at a four-year institution and who transferred to the institution after completing the residency requirements for an associate degree at a two-year institution. The notification process developed pursuant to this section shall specify the role of the student, the department, and the two-year and four-year institutions in the process, with the role of the four-year institutions limited to providing contact information for eligible students. The notification process shall be implemented no later than the beginning of the 2013-14 academic year.

(b) The two-year and four-year institutions shall agree upon the contents of the notification to eligible students. At a minimum, the notification shall include the requirements for the degree audit by the two-year institution and information concerning the process for a student to be awarded an associate degree in the future if the degree requirements are not met or the student declines the associate degree at the time of the notification.

(c) Nothing in this section limits the ability of the governing boards of two-year and four-year institutions to develop reverse transfer agreements that are consistent with the intent of this section.

(4) Each two-year and four-year institution shall provide students with information concerning the process developed pursuant to this section.

Status: in_force

23-1-113.7. Commission directive - nursing programs - employer-based gift and scholarship fund - reporting requirement - legislative declaration. (1) The general assembly recognizes the need to provide a high quality trained workforce necessary for the delivery of quality care to seniors and other individuals. The general assembly further recognizes that limiting the number of students participating in nursing programs in the state-supported institutions of higher education frustrates the goal of delivering quality care to the number of those in need.

(2) The commission shall develop admissions policies for nursing programs at state-supported institutions of higher education that, subject to the availability of funds through the more nurses for Colorado fund created pursuant to subsection (4) of this section, allow for a greater number of students to be admitted to nursing education programs on or after July 1, 2002, who would otherwise not be admitted because of the limit on the number of students that the institution accepted in its nursing program prior to July 1, 2002.

(3) The commission shall direct the governing boards of state supported institutions of higher education with nursing programs to allow additional students of nursing to be admitted when there are sufficient funds available through the more nurses for Colorado fund created pursuant to subsection (4) of this section to support the increased costs associated with such students.

(4) There is hereby created in the office of the state treasurer the more nurses for Colorado fund. Such fund shall consist of gifts, grants, and donations from private entities and shall be continuously appropriated by the general assembly. Such moneys shall be used by the commission solely to support the development of additional capacity to allow a greater number of students to be admitted to the nursing programs in the state-supported institutions of higher education. Such moneys shall constitute gifts for the purposes of calculating fiscal year spending pursuant to section 20 of article X of the Colorado constitution.

(5) It is the intent of the general assembly that no general fund dollars be appropriated for the purposes of implementing the requirements of this section.

(6) Each state-supported institution of higher education that offers a bachelor of science degree in nursing shall submit an annual report to the department of higher education that includes the following information:

(a) The number of bachelor of science in nursing degrees and the number of associate nursing degrees, if any, awarded;

(b) The number of nursing program graduates who passed the state nursing licensure examination; and

(c) The total tuition for a student to complete the state-supported institution of higher education's bachelor of science degree in nursing program.
