Joint committees extend school-finance deadline to May 13, 2026 under Joint Rule 23(c)
Summary
A joint memorandum from the Senate and House committees on delayed bills extended the statutory deadline for final passage of major school finance bills under the Public School Finance Act of 1994 to Wednesday, May 13, 2026.
A memorandum read to the Senate floor from the joint committees on delayed bills announced an extension of the statutory deadline for final passage of bills that prescribe all or a substantial portion of total funding for public schools under the Public School Finance Act of 1994 (Article 54 of Title 22, Colorado Revised Statutes). The clerk read that, pursuant to Joint Rule 23(c), the April 24 deadline is "extended until Wednesday, 05/13/2026" and that the memorandum shall be printed in each house journal as required.
The extension covers the procedural deadline for final passage, including any conference committee report, for bills meeting that funding threshold. The clerk read the list of legislative leaders associated with the memorandum into the record but the transcript does not record floor debate or a recorded vote on the extension; the memorandum was presented as a joint committee action to the Senate.
