CHEC Legislative Action Alert (Update on HB16-1164 Committee Hearing)
Dear Homeschool Families,
I want to thank each of you who engaged with CHEC in the battle for family freedom and privacy over the last two weeks leading up to yesterday’s hearing of HB-1164 by the House Health, Insurance, and Environment Committee.
CHEC sounded the alarm and it was clear to the committee that you answered the call.

In fact, there was so much testimony in opposition to the bill that the hearing did not end until 9 pm!
In spite of the overwhelming opposition by the public, the bill passed through committee on a party line vote of 7 to 6.

CHEC is currently monitoring a bill (HB16-1164) that was introduced to the Colorado House of Representatives on January 28, 2016 and is scheduled for hearing on February 25th.
While the details regarding the total impact of this bill are still being collected, it appears that HB16-1164 presents a potential threat to the privacy and freedom of all homeschool families and a direct threat to families who are homeschooling under non-public school law (i.e. enrolled in private schools which allow homeschooling).
