Colorado House Bill 1335 would require colleges with student health centers to provide on-site abortion medication, expanding access to mifepristone and misoprostol for students. The bill exempts institutions with sincerely held religious beliefs and aims to increase reproductive care access for students from any state or country attending Colorado colleges.

Colorado's Amendment 79, which enshrines abortion rights in the state constitution and allows Medicaid to cover abortion care, took effect on January 1, 2026, with ongoing efforts to ensure provider participation and adequate funding. Advocates emphasize that despite legal protections, challenges remain in maintaining access, especially in rural areas, due to budget constraints and the need for sufficient Medicaid reimbursement rates to support providers.
