The bill passed final passage 40 yes, 24 no, with 1 excused.

Representative Paschall, the bill sponsor, said the amendment discussed during committee was intended to clarify that the bill would not change existing rights for releasing medical records, including provisions concerning children under age 12. “The intent, the goal of this amendment was to state that no changes being brought forward by this law, new bill, changes anything about individuals' rights, in terms of their ability to release their medical records,” Paschall said, and she told the chamber stakeholders would work to craft clearer language with the Senate sponsor.

Rep. Bradley rose to move that the bill be referred back to the committee of origin (to “seconds”), arguing the committee amendment created ambiguity and could permit written consent by children. “This is the second bill that we're sending to the senate to clean up our mess,” Bradley said, asking members to send the bill back to fix language rather than rely on the Senate.

Representative de Graaf and other members joined the debate, pressing that the phrase in the bill allowing release of records \"upon the written consent of the child\" could be interpreted broadly. De Graaf pointed to multiple Colorado statute sections and warned the language could be “weaponized” against children: “Nothing in this section prohibits the release of records created by the individualized service and support team upon the written consent of the child,” he said, adding that if the language can be misused, it should be tightened on the House floor.

Representative Bottoms emphasized legislative drafting norms: “If there's an ambiguous statement in a bill ... it means what the wording says,” she told the chamber, and urged members not to leave ambiguous provisions for the Senate to resolve. Assistant Minority Leader Winter and Minority Leader Puglisi framed concerns in parental-rights terms, describing instances where parents had been denied access to medical records and pressing for clearer statutory limits on who can consent.

Members voted on Bradley’s motion to refer the bill back to committee. The motion failed on a roll call — 22 in favor, 42 opposed, 1 excused — after which a separate motion to allow a third-reading amendment to define \"family\" and tighten the language failed (21 yes, 43 no, 1 excused). Despite the failed procedural motions, the House then voted on final passage; House Bill 1035 was adopted on third reading 40 yes, 24 no, 1 excused.

Sponsor Paschall said stakeholders will draft an amendment in the Senate to clarify that the bill does not change existing rules about consent or access to medical records and invited feedback. “Seeing as we can't amend it here, what we're gonna do is go forward. Work on an amendment to clarify the language ... crafted by stakeholders,” Paschall said on the floor.

The debate centered on statutory definitions (including references on the floor to sections in Title 14, Title 19, Title 25 and other code sections) and on whether terms such as “child,” “youth,” and “family” were sufficiently defined in the collaborative-management statute to avoid unintended changes in consent authority. Several members urged returning the bill to committee to correct what they described as an unclear last-minute amendment; proponents warned that returning it would delay statutory changes the bill aims to make.

The House’s roll-call votes were recorded by the clerk. After the final vote, the Speaker announced, “With 40 I, 24 no, and 1 excused, House Bill 10 35 is adopted.” The sponsor said the planned stakeholder-driven clarifying amendment would be introduced in the Senate.

This floor action does not by itself change the statutory text until the enrolled bill is transmitted and any senate changes are reconciled; members on both sides indicated follow-up work would be done in the Senate to more tightly define consent language.

The chamber voted 64 yes, 0 no, with 1 excused to adopt the resolution.

The resolution, introduced by Representative English, traces the observance from Carter G. Woodson’s creation of Negro History Week to the modern Black History Month and cites local and national figures, including Colorado pioneers and civil-rights leaders. Representative English moved the resolution and asked for it to be read at length before members offered floor remarks.

Lawmakers from both parties spoke in support and, in some cases, used the moment to reflect personally. Representative Joseph said the resolution offered a chance to honor family and community; she described her grandmother’s influence and how those personal histories are part of Black history. “Black history is about more than the famous trailblazers and activists. It's also about the regular grandmothers, fathers, and community members raising the next generation of leaders,” Joseph said.

Representative Ricks urged colleagues to treat Black history as part of American history and criticized the federal government’s refusal that year to formally recognize the month. “Black history is American history,” Ricks said, asking colleagues to “support this joint resolution and affirm that truth.”

Some members used their time to offer broader commentary. Representative De Graaf delivered a long critique of certain contemporary policies while saying he supports teaching history fully; his remarks drew extended floor time but did not change the outcome. Assistant Majority Leader Bacon closed the debate, urging support. “A vote for this resolution is a vote to recognize that black history is American history,” Bacon said.

After the final remarks, the House proceeded to a roll-call vote on the resolution. Mr. Schiebel opened the voting machine; the clerk recorded 64 ayes, 0 no, and 1 excused. The Speaker announced, “House Joint Resolution 1009 is adopted,” and members recessed briefly to greet guests attending the observance.

The resolution text included historical references to figures and events in Colorado history mentioned on the floor, and designated February 2025 specifically as Black History Month for the General Assembly. It also notes the Association for the Study of African American Life and History’s theme for 2025 and recounts local Black Coloradans’ contributions cited during debate.

The adoption of HJR1009 is ceremonial and does not create new law; it is a formal recognition by the General Assembly intended to acknowledge and commemorate the historical and present contributions of Black Americans in Colorado and nationwide.
