The House today advanced legislation sponsored by Representatives Tammy Story and Katie Stewart to help address school staffing shortages in rural or smaller school districts. < Back February 2, 2026 House Advances Bill to Support Rural Schools DENVER, CO – The House today advanced legislation sponsored by Representatives Tammy Story and Katie Stewart to help address school staffing shortages in rural or smaller school districts. “We’re addressing our educator and school staff shortage so schools are better able to equip students with the tools they need to succeed,” said Rep. Tammy Story, D-Conifer. “Our bill allows Board of Cooperative Services (BOCES) executive directors to support our rural and smaller schools and address public education educator shortages without losing their retirement benefits. Retired administrators have lived experience and knowledge, and this bill makes sure they can continue to support and help educate Colorado’s students.” “I’m committed to uncovering new avenues to support our rural schools and help address the educator shortage,” said Rep. Katie Stewart, D-Durango. “HB26-1027 would make it easier for retired BOCES executive directors to return to the classroom, without risking their retirement benefits. It can be challenging for rural communities like mine to recruit and retain new teachers, administrators and support staff. Our bill makes it possible for retired BOCES executive directors to re-enter the workforce and support their local schools.” HB26-1027 would help support Colorado schools by allowing a retired Board of Cooperative Services (BOCES) executive director to re-enter the schools without losing their retirement benefits. Under this bill, BOCES executive directors would join a list of specific education-related positions, including teachers, paraprofessionals, food service professionals, and bus drivers, who can fill vacant positions in local schools without the risk of losing their Public Employees' Retirement Association (PERA) benefits. BOCES exist to support rural or smaller school districts in Colorado by allowing multiple school districts to combine resources and share staff. Previous Next

Governor Jared Polis today signed legislation that will improve wildfire mitigation. HB24-1006 will make it easier for rural communities to locate and apply for state and federal wildfire prevention grants. HB24-1024 will expand wildfire prevention efforts through community education. < Back May 20, 2024 Bills to Improve Wildfire Mitigation in Rural Communities, Continue Wildfire Prevention Awareness Signed Into Law NEW CASTLE, CO – Governor Jared Polis today signed legislation that will improve wildfire mitigation. HB24-1006 will make it easier for rural communities to locate and apply for state and federal wildfire prevention grants. HB24-1024 will expand wildfire prevention efforts through community education. “Rural communities like mine are often most at risk for wildfire-related damage and displacement,” said Rep. Elizabeth Velasco, D-Glenwood Springs, sponsor of HB24-1006 and HB24-1024 . “HB24-1006 will connect rural communities to state and federal wildfire mitigation grants and assist with the application process so they can prevent wildfire devastation and keep their homes and businesses safe. I’m also proud that HB24-1024 is now law, extending the Colorado State Forest Service wildfire outreach campaign so we can continue efforts that will make our communities more wildfire-resilient.” “We must use every tool available to protect our communities and prepare for the increased number and intensity of wildfires,” said Senator Lisa Cutter, D-Jefferson County, sponsor of HB24-1006 and HB24-1024. “These new laws will help get these tools and valuable information into communities under threat of wildfire, including those in under-resourced rural communities.” “Rural communities often have fewer resources to mitigate destructive wildfires, which can leave communities in disarray,” said Rep. Marc Snyder, D-Manitou Springs, sponsor of HB24-1006. “This law makes it easier for our rural communities to find and apply for state and federal wildfire mitigation grants. From wildfire prevention tactics to increased emergency response efforts, there are many wildfire mitigation efforts that can keep our communities safe and better prepared.” HB24-1006 will he lp rural communities find and apply for state and federal wildfire mitigation grants. Specifically, this law establishes a rural grant navigator program within the Colorado State Forest Service to aid rural communities in locating and applying for wildfire mitigation grants. Grants can help communities obtain the resources they need to combat wildfires through prevention tactics, response efforts, and risk management. HB24-1024 requires the Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS) to continue its enhanced wildfire outreach campaign through 2027, as well as other outreach efforts that increase awareness of wildfire risk mitigation in the wildland-urban interface. “Many Colorado communities are in wildfire-prone areas, but the Marshall Fire tragedy taught us that we must be prepared for the worst as wildfires can quickly spread into our neighborhoods,” said Rep. Tammy Story, D-Conifer, sponsor of HB24-1024. “This new law will expand on the great work that the Colorado State Forest Service has done to educate Coloradans on wildfire risk and mitigation strategies so we can continue to protect our communities from wildfires.” This legislation builds on a 2022 law , also sponsored by Representative Story, that directed CSFS to create a working group and implement an enhanced wildfire awareness month outreach campaign for 2023 and 2024.

< Back April 7, 2022 BILL TO PREVENT CATALYTIC CONVERTER THEFT WINS COMMITTEE APPROVAL DENVER, CO – The House Energy and Environment Committee today unanimously approved SB22-009, legislation sponsored by Representatives Shannon Bird and Adrienne Benavidez to prevent catalytic converter thefts. “This bill will help prevent the catalytic converter thefts that are happening nearly every day in our communities by giving law enforcement new tools to crack down on the marketplace for stolen parts,” said Rep. Adrianne Benavidez, D-Commerce City. “This bill will make it harder to resell stolen catalytic converters and will help to close down the market for these illicitly acquired parts. By preventing catalytic converter thefts, we’ll make our communities safer and save Coloradans money and time spent replacing these expensive parts.” “By reducing the market for stolen catalytic converters, we’ll prevent these crimes that are costing Coloradans thousands of dollars,” said Rep. Shannon Bird, D-Westminster. “This bill is a smart approach to crack down on catalytic converter thefts and the illicit market for these expensive, but critical, parts.” SB22-009 would prevent catalytic converter thefts by making it harder to resell stolen catalytic converters. It would require owners and dealers of catalytic converters to register all transactions of the part and to comply with regulations regarding transactions of commodity metals, including current laws addressing the theft of commodity metals. The bill adds catalytic converters to the definition of a “major component motor vehicle part” when it comes to Colorado laws prohibiting “chop shops.” The bill requires anyone who acquires five or more vehicles in a 12 month period that they plan to dismantle for parts to report these acquisitions to the motor vehicle title information system to ensure that they are not stolen. Two other bills also addressing stolen and tampered catalytic converters are working their way through the legislature, SB22-179 and HB22-1217 Previous Next

< Back March 2, 2021 ANTI-DOXXING LEGISLATION PASSES COMMITTEE Bills would protect public health workers and employees in the Department of Corrections DENVER, CO – The House Judiciary Committee today passed two bills to prevent the doxxing of public health workers, law enforcement officials, and employees and contractors of the Department of Corrections. HB21-1107 , sponsored by Representatives Yadira Caraveo, D-Thornton, and Terri Carver, R-Colorado Springs, would create anti-doxxing protections for public health workers. Currently, it is unlawful to post on the internet the personal information of a law enforcement official, if that information poses an imminent and serious threat to the official or the official’s family. HB21-1107, which passed today by a vote of 11-0, would add the same protections for public health workers. “Public health workers have been on the frontlines keeping Coloradans safe through this unprecedented crisis, but many have faced harassment and death threats with reckless individuals even posting their addresses and personal information on the internet,” said Rep. Caraveo, D-Thornton, a physician. “It’s time we stand up and say with one clear voice that we will not tolerate actions that threaten our public health officials and their families. Too many have quit their jobs after threats during this pandemic, and passing this basic set of privacy protections will help us retain the officials we depend on during crises like COVID-19.” HB21-1015 , sponsored by Representatives Kerry Tipper, D-Lakewood, and Terri Carver, R-Colorado Springs, would create anti-doxxing protections for employees at the Department of Corrections. The bill would add dissemination of personal information that poses a serious risk to a Department of Corrections employee or their family to Colorado’s existing anti-doxxing statutes. The bill passed 11-0. “Department of Corrections employees and their families must be protected from people who would wish to cause them harm by posting their personal information online, and that’s what this bill would do,” said Rep. Tipper, D-Lakewood. “This simple change will mean more of our state employees who work every day to keep Colorado safer will now also feel safe at home.” Previous Next

< Back June 28, 2021 SIGNED! $75M FOR BROADBAND DENVER, CO– Governor Polis today signed legislation that will invest $75 million of federal stimulus funds to increase access to broadband in Colorado. “Broadband has never before been more important for commerce, education and daily life, but too many Coloradans don’t have high speed internet,” said Rep. Chris Kennedy, D-Lakewood. “Today, we are making a historic investment to bring broadband to communities, businesses, schools and homes across Colorado. This funding will boost businesses, create jobs, grow our economy and connect more Coloradans to broadband.” HB21-1289 , sponsored by Representatives Chris Kennedy and Mark Baisley, R-Roxborough Park, codifies the Colorado Broadband Office to help coordinate the planning of broadband deployment throughout the state and creates different grant programs to support infrastructure development. It provides $75M to increase internet access across Colorado through the deployment of devices, and the development of middle and last mile infrastructure to support services that have become a necessity during the pandemic, like telehealth. The bill specifically includes $20M for broadband deployment by the Ute Mountain and Southern Ute Tribes. Previous Next

< Back May 7, 2023 House Passes Support for Universal Preschool Providers DENVER, CO – The House today passed legislation to provide one-time bonuses for universal preschool providers. “With Universal Preschool on the horizon, we’re making sure providers know that we’re grateful for their tireless efforts to educate our youngest learners,” said Rep. Meghan Lukens, D-Steamboat Springs . “This bipartisan bill will help recruit more providers and will send preschool providers a bonus to help them renovate spaces, purchase new educational materials, and support their staff. Without our providers it would be impossible to implement free, high-quality universal preschool for our children, and this bill provides them with a much needed thank you.” Supporting Universal Preschool Providers : SB23-269 , sponsored by Representative Meghan Lukens and Mary Bradfield, passed the House by a vote of 50 to 14. This bill invests $2.5 million in bonus payments for Universal Preschool (UPK) providers to support their programs, staff and facilities. This bill would provide one-time bonus payments for early childhood care providers participating in Colorado’s Universal Preschool Program . The bonuses must be used to implement the UPK, or to maintain or expand infant and toddler care capacity. This bill will help ensure there are enough providers in the state so that all families who want to participate in UPK can choose the right setting for their child, and provides support to child care providers in licensed community-based and home-based programs who are participating in state-run preschools for the first time. Recently, the Polis administration announced that more than 25,000 families who signed up for the first round of UPK Colorado have been matched with a provider, with more than 90-percent being matched with one of their top five providers. It is estimated that families who participate in UPK Colorado will save $6,000 per year. UPK sign up is available online on a rolling basis. Previous Next

The House today advanced a bill sponsored by Representatives Emily Sirota and Naquetta Ricks on a preliminary vote that would bring down costs for Coloradans by cracking down on ‘junk fees’. < Back February 28, 2025 House Advances ‘Junk Fees’ Bill to Save Coloradans Money DENVER, CO - The House today advanced a bill sponsored by Representatives Emily Sirota and Naquetta Ricks on a preliminary vote that would bring down costs for Coloradans by cracking down on ‘junk fees’. “Coloradans are feeling the rising cost of living, and ubiquitous ‘junk fees’ that add hundreds of dollars in monthly costs are making it increasingly difficult for Coloradans to pay their bills,” said Rep. Emily Sirota, D-Denver. “Whatever the ‘junk fee’ is disguised as, the common goal is to hike up prices and drain money out of the pockets of hardworking Coloradans to increase corporate profits. Coloradans deserve better, which is why I’m proud to sponsor this bill to crack down on junk fees so consumers know the full price of the product, good, or property, including any mandatory fees. “It is estimated that ‘junk fees’ add up to $90 billion per year in our country, costing households more than $650 annually that could be better spent on groceries, health care, and child care,” said Rep. Naquetta Ricks, D-Aurora. “These fees are often hidden until the consumer is getting ready to check out, or for renters, not disclosed until after they have already paid their non-refundable security deposit, forcing them into a higher monthly rent price than what was advertised. Tackling ‘junk fees’ has been one of my biggest priorities at the Capitol, and I am excited that we are one step closer to requiring companies to honestly price their products so Coloradans can make decisions that meet their needs and budget.” HB25-1090 would improve transparency in pricing and save Coloradans money by: Prohibiting pricing information for a good, service, or property being offered, displayed, or advertised unless the total price is disclosed, with the exception of a government or shipping charge, third-party fees, and utilities, Prohibiting the misrepresentation of pricing information, Requiring the nature or purpose of pricing information to be disclosed for a good, service, or property that is not part of the total price, and Restricting fees landlords can charge for utilities and third-party services if they comply with legal limits, ensuring that tenants are not charged additional fees. On January 15, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sent a letter to Governor Polis to provide information about the efforts they have made to address junk fees and called for the passage of legislation like HB25-1090, that works to combat these unforeseen costs. The FTC and the Colorado Attorney General have announced they are taking action against the nation’s largest multi-family rental property managers for using deceptive advertising and failing to disclose recurring fees.

Representative Meghan Lukens today presented the Walking Mountain Science Center with a Colorado Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) Pipeline Grant at Red Sandstone Elementary. < Back October 23, 2024 Rep. Lukens Presents STEM Grant to Walking Mountain Science Center VAIL, CO – Representative Meghan Lukens last week presented the Walking Mountain Science Center with a Colorado Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) Pipeline Grant at Red Sandstone Elementary. The grant, supported by We Work For Health , aims to boost student access to science and technology across Colorado. “How exciting is it to present a Colorado STEM Pipeline Grant to the Walking Mountain Science Center, congratulations to all!,” said Rep. Meghan Lukens, D-Steamboat Springs. “I’m thrilled the Walking Mountain Science Center will soon have more resources to boost environmental science in the classroom – further encouraging our students to explore their passions for STEM education. Recent laws we passed will help drive more funding to rural and underserved school districts and support our students in achieving their dreams. Together, we’re building a stronger educational foundation for students in Vail Valley and beyond.” At the state house, Rep. Lukens supported HB24-1446 , a bipartisan law to boost science instruction and performance in K-12 schools. She also proudly supported groundbreaking education legislation including HB24-1448 , the new public school finance formula, and SB24-188 , the 2024 School Finance Act, which eliminates the budget stabilization factor (BSF). In addition to HB24-1448 and SB24-188, Rep. Lukens was the prime sponsor of education legislation to bring more school psychologists to Colorado and establish an Educator Safety Task Force .

< Back May 7, 2021 HOUSE DEMS ADVANCE COLORADO OPTION Bill will save consumers 18 percent on health care and create a new insurance option DENVER, CO– The House today advanced the Colorado Health Insurance Option on a preliminary vote. The bill would significantly lower health insurance premiums on the individual and small group markets and create a new option for consumers to save Coloradans money and increase access to health care. “Lower health insurance premiums and new options are on the way. No one should avoid going to a doctor or hospital just because they can’t afford the health care they need,” said Rep. Dylan Roberts, D-Avon. “I’m proud that we brought everyone in the health care industry to the table to deliver big savings for Coloradans. The Colorado Option is going to save people 18 percent on their health insurance premiums and create an affordable choice for individuals, families, and small businesses. This is an exciting moment for Coloradans across our state.” “I came to the legislature to work hard to give my constituents a shot at achieving the American dream,” said Representative Iman Jodeh, D-Aurora . “But far too many Black, Brown, and low-income families in my district and across Colorado are being held back by the crippling costs of health care. Today we took a monumental step toward giving Coloradans a quality, affordable health care option that increases equity and ensures that families can get the care they need.” Before the pandemic, 20 percent of Coloradans struggled to afford the cost of health care or went without care because they couldn’t afford it. One in six Colorado counties has only one health insurance carrier on the individual market. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed gaps in the state’s health system and exacerbated existing inequities that have only made it harder for Coloradans to access affordable care. HB21-1232 will bring more affordable health insurance options to Coloradans in the individual and small group market. This proposal provides the health care industry an opportunity to work collaboratively to reduce their premiums, and allows them to innovate and figure out how to do that. Health insurance carriers would be required to bring premiums down by 18 percent over three years. The bill requires health insurance carriers to offer a standardized health plan, meaning Colorado consumers will have a new insurance option that covers the services they need at a lower cost. The standardized plan must address historical health inequities, and it will lower out-of-pocket costs for consumers. The plan would be offered in both the small group and individual markets, increasing access and affordability for small businesses who choose to offer a health benefit. The proposal ensures industry participation and accountability by creating Colorado’s first Insurance Consumer Ombudsman and public hearing process to ensure affordability and access targets are met.

< Back April 17, 2019 HOUSE APPROVES ROBERTS-MCCLUSKIE BILL TO HELP LOWER THE COST OF HEALTH CARE WITH STRONG BIPARTISAN SUPPORT (Apr. 17) – This morning, the House approved a bill with strong bipartisan support to address the high costs of health care in Colorado. The bill is sponsored by Western Slope state Representatives Dylan Roberts, D-Avon, and. Julie McCluskie, D-Dillon. SB19-004 will strengthen Colorado’s laws to allow healthcare cooperatives to incorporate consumer protections like coverage for preexisting conditions. It will also allow the State Insurance Commissioner to work with groups seeking to create co-ops so that they can get their co-op up and running as soon as possible. “The formation of health insurance co-ops across our state where Coloradans collectively negotiate rates directly with providers will help lower the cost of health care,” said Rep. Roberts. “Let’s get this bill to the Governor’s desk so we can start saving people in Colorado money on health care.” This bipartisan bill will authorize the formation of these co-ops across the state which could result in plans that are significantly cheaper than those available today. The bill will also help lower healthcare costs by encouraging consumers to negotiate rates on a collective basis directly with providers and offer plans to individuals, business, and other groups that are more affordable than what currently exists on the market. “Without any action on the federal level to the health care crisis, Colorado communities are finding creative, innovative approaches to making health care more accessible,” said Rep. McCluskie. “This bipartisan bill will help provide solutions to the complicated health care challenges hardworking families face everyday.” Senator Kerry Donovan, D-Vail, is the Senate sponsor of the bill. The Senate approved the bill on a bipartisan vote of 34-to-1 earlier this month. The bill passed with a bipartisan vote of 61-2. The bill now heads back to the Senate to approve amendments adopted in the House. Previous Next

Legislation would build more homes for every budget, lower costs for Colorado families, reduce traffic and improve air quality < Back May 5, 2023 House Advances Legislation to Build More Housing Now Legislation would build more homes for every budget, lower costs for Colorado families, reduce traffic and improve air quality DENVER, CO - The House today advanced landmark legislation sponsored by Representatives Steven Woodrow and Iman Jodeh on a preliminary vote to create more housing for every budget. The legislation will next be considered for third reading and final passage in the House. “Our current system is broken. We must take action now to address Colorado's affordability crisis and build more housing now,” said Rep. Steven Woodrow, D-Denver. “Coloradans are being forced out of their communities and commuting long distances to get to their workplace while our housing shortage makes it harder to attract new businesses. Our plan will legalize the types of homes Coloradans want and can afford while increasing density near transit hubs. This will reduce the cost of housing, improve our air, and create jobs. We must take bold action now to increase our housing supply and build homes for every Coloradans’ budget, and we will.” “Colorado’s housing shortage is displacing Colorado families and making it harder to continue to call Colorado home,” said Rep. Iman Jodeh, D-Aurora. “From first time homebuyers and seniors to teachers and firefighters, our community members are commuting long distances just to get to their workplace. Half measures and baby steps will not solve this problem. The cost of doing business in Colorado is going up because workers can’t find a place to live that they can afford. If we don’t act now, building a future in Colorado will become harder and harder and we’ll continue to see lower-income and hardworking Coloradans struggle with the high cost of living in our state.” SB23-213 is a comprehensive bill that establishes a framework for more housing in Colorado communities while providing flexibility for local leaders to implement standards that meet the needs of their diverse communities. By allowing more housing, this proposal will lead to more housing options for every budget so that Coloradans can live in the communities they want without being priced out. The plan also helps improve air quality, protect open space, conserve water and plan for future growth while helping prevent displacement. A PEW study found that restrictive zoning policies make it more difficult and expensive to build new housing that accommodates a community’s housing needs, which causes home prices and rents to skyrocket. Another 2023 study found that rent prices across Colorado increased by 31 percent on average from January 2017 to January 2023, while municipalities that implemented similar reforms saw minimal rent increases. Cities like Mineappolis, Minnesota, New Rochelle, New York, Portland, Oregon, and Tysons, Virginia have updated their zoning codes to allow for more and lower-cost housing options to address their housing needs. These zoning reforms have successfully limited rental price increases at 0 to 5 percent, compared to Colorado rental increases between 22 to 53 percent. Colorado’s population increased 14.8 percent between 2010 and 2020, but the housing stock only grew by 12.6 percent. With housing stock not meeting population demands and low household sizes, Coloradans are left to compete over limited housing opportunities. Many jurisdictions only allow single-family detached housing, often on a large lot and with significant parking requirements. Research shows that reducing or removing minimum parking mandates can reduce the cost to construct more affordable homes like multifamily housing. It also encourages alternative and environmentally friendly transportation like walking and biking. SB23-213, as amended by the House, will allow property owners in urban municipalities to build ADUs on their property, enact locally tailored anti-displacement and affordability measures, encourage multi-family housing near mass transit hubs, and reduce minimum parking requirements that drive up housing construction costs and lead to higher rents. The plan outlines strategies to create more housing now including: Legalizing the ability to build ADUs in existing residential areas in urban municipalities, Reducing parking minimums in strategic growth areas, key corridors and transit-oriented developments as well as for accessory dwelling units. Paves the way for more multifamily housing in or near transit-oriented and walkable communities to lessen the number of cars on the road, improve air quality, reduce pollution, and save people money on commutes, Assessing statewide housing needs and identifying affordability strategies tailored to local and regional needs. The bill will provide a framework for state, regional, and local agencies to strategically align investments and policies and track progress, and Constructing more homes and creating jobs by eliminating arbitrary laws that prevent property owners from building the housing units local communities need.

< Back June 9, 2020 HOUSE PASSES SCHOOL FINANCE ACT AND BILL TO TEMPORARILY WAIVE STANDARDIZED TESTING REQUIREMENTS DENVER, CO — The House today passed HB20-1418 , the School Finance Act, sponsored by Speaker KC Becker by a vote of 39-23. “This is one of the most difficult years for education funding in our state’s history, but we did everything we could to prioritize K-12 as we worked to responsibly balance our budget,” said Speaker Becker, D-Boulder. “Our schools and teachers still face enormous challenges to meet the needs of our students. We need to find innovative solutions, like getting rid of outdated tax handouts, to protect K-12 funding in the future and begin to address the fundamental inequities in how our state funds public education.” HB20-1418 is the annual School Finance Act, which sets funding levels for all of Colorado’s school districts and charter schools. This year’s proposal shields K-12 from the worst of budget cuts, reducing funding for all districts by $377.6 million from the prior year amidst a $3 billion revenue shortfall. However, with $510 million in federal CARES Act funding and $37 million in additional federal funding for at-risk students intended to help address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, total school funding increases by at least $169 million overall. While the federal funds are not an offset for cuts due to the revenue shortfall, they go a long way to help schools minimize impacts during this unprecedented situation. The School Finance Act pulls funds from marijuana taxes, school capital construction, and various grant programs and cash funds in order to put dollars where they are most needed – core education funding. The bill also makes various changes to reflect COVID-19’s impacts to the school system. It delays the timeline for school districts to adopt their budgets, since the Long Bill was delayed. It also codifies the suspension of various accountability-related provisions to reflect the Governor’s executive orders and directs the Department of Education to convene a stakeholder group to assess the impact of the COVID pandemic on the 19-20 school year and whether additional changes to accountability systems are needed for the 20-21 school year. Another major provision in this year’s School Finance Act corrects an issue with how local school funding levels are set, which has contributed to the underfunding of our schools over the last 25 years. The Colorado Supreme Court ruled in Mesa v. State that local school funding is set incorrectly in many districts and violates our own statutes, due to districts lowering their mill levies contrary to voter approval. This School Finance Act corrects this violation without impacting anyone’s property taxes by restoring the mill levy in each district to the rate that was adopted by voters or up to a certain limit, and requires credits to offset any increases to property owners. The House also passed Rep. Cathy Kipp’s bill, HB20-1407 , by a vote of 61-0. The bill would respond to the challenges presented by COVID19 by temporarily giving publicly funded colleges and universities the option to waive standardized testing as a requirement for admission for high school students graduating in 2021. “The pandemic has disrupted life for our students as they work to complete their high school education and begin attending college,” said Rep Kipp, D-Fort Collins. “Many students weren’t able to take their standardized tests, so we are changing the requirements for public higher education institutions to allow them to consider other academic credentials, such as GPA and leadership positions when making admissions decisions.” Previous Next
