An online clearinghouse of pre-introduced legislative proposals — an idea that died on the General Assembly’s calendar in 2024 — gained new life Monday when a Colorado House committee unanimously passed a measure that delays the project’s implementation until 2028.
Under House Bill 25-1069, lawmakers could opt to post drafts or titles of bills they are considering for an upcoming session “on a publicly accessible web page” on the legislature’s website.
“The idea behind this is to facilitate interactions with more and more stakeholders so as to ensure that all Coloradans are able to contribute their thoughts to particular bills,” said sponsoring Rep. Stephanie Luck, R-Penrose, the proponent of last year’s unsuccessful House Bill 24-1022, which passed the House but didn’t get out of the Senate Appropriations Committee.
