Democratic lawmakers in Colorado have indefinitely postponed a bill that would require private schools participating in a federal tax-credit scholarship program to comply with state nondiscrimination laws. The program is backed by former President Trump and aims to provide scholarships for private education. This decision means no new state-level restrictions will be imposed on the program for now.
Key Points
