(1)
This section shall be known and may be cited as the "Loan Repayment Assistance Act".
(2)
(a)
The general assembly hereby finds, determines, and declares that:
(I)
It is of great value to the state to encourage students and graduates of institutions of higher education to enter public interest careers;
(II)
With rising costs of education and the debt that many students incur to finance their education, there are increasing barriers to entering public interest employment because the pay is typically substantially lower than that of other employment sectors; and
(III)
Inspired by a tradition of public interest, the university of Colorado law school developed a loan repayment assistance program to encourage and assist students and graduates to enter careers related to public interest and to help improve access to the justice system.
(b)
The general assembly therefore declares that it is in the best interest of the state of Colorado to encourage and authorize institutions of higher education to create loan repayment assistance programs that provide for the partial or full repayment of the educational loans of students or graduates who enter public interest careers.

The governing board of each institution shall establish criteria and rules to govern the implementation and operation of the program at the institution. The program shall allow the governing board to provide a loan or a grant to a student or graduate of the institution in accordance with the criteria and rules set forth by the governing board pursuant to this section.
(b)
Private contributions made for the benefit of a program and other available funds shall fund a program at an institution of higher education.

(1)
(a)
The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:
(I)
The safety of students, faculty, and staff who work and learn on the campuses of Colorado institutions of higher education can be enhanced by informing, organizing, and empowering those individuals to respond appropriately to emergency situations on campus;
(II)
Critical incidents that take place on campuses are unique, life-changing events that require exercising basic survival skills during an intense period of high mental and physical stress. Having the information necessary to respond effectively to these critical incidents can be key to a positive individual or group outcome in a true life or death situation; and
(III)
Colorado institutions of higher education should ensure that all students, faculty, and staff receive updated school safety information that reflects best practices for their institution at the beginning of each school year.
