CO HB1369

Adds unaccompanied homeless youth under age 22 to the list of "qualified persons" who can determine their own domicile for in-state tuition purposes at Colorado institutions of higher education.

Defines "unaccompanied homeless youth" as individuals under 22 years old who are either homeless or verified as unaccompanied, at risk of homelessness, and self-supporting.

Establishes four authorized verifiers to certify unaccompanied homeless youth status: local educational agency homeless liaisons, directors of runaway and homeless youth programs, directors of emergency shelter grant programs, and financial aid administrators at institutions.

Amends Colorado Revised Statutes Section 23-7-102 to include unaccompanied homeless youth as persons qualified to establish their own domicile for tuition classification.

Includes a safety clause declaring the act necessary for immediate preservation of public peace, health, and safety.
