House Bill 09-1319 was before the committee for action only. The bill was heard, and testimony taken, on Wednesday, April 22, 2009. Senator Bacon reminded the committee that the bill was on the table as was Senator Romer's conceptual amendment, offered on April 22, that would provide that if student is free or reduced-price lunch eligible, and is within 15 credits of an associate's degree at the end of his or her fifth year in high school, the student can get a waiver in order to remain in the program for one additional semester. Senator Romer withdrew the conceptual amendment.

Senator Romer explained Amendment L.031 (Attachment C) and responded to committee questions about the amendment.
