Votes at a glance: key actions in the Colorado House on Feb. 14
Summary
Summary of committee and floor actions taken Feb. 14, including final passage of several bills and committee-of-the-whole outcomes; House advanced multiple measures and laid one bill over for further consideration.
The Colorado House considered a package of bills on Feb. 14. Below are outcomes for the principal items the chamber addressed that day.
- Senate Bill 10 (electronic communications and health insurance): Passed on the floor. Sponsors said the bill authorizes electronic communications for required notices related to consumer health insurance benefits, allows two‑way electronic communications with plans, and preserves the right to receive paper notices at no additional cost. The floor motion to pass was granted and the bill was ordered revised and placed on the calendar for third reading and final passage.
- House Bill 11‑24 (universal contracting for behavioral health safety net services): Initially reported as adopted in committee, the Committee of the Whole subsequently voted to lay House Bill 11‑24 over to Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2025, by recorded vote (60 yes, 1 no, 4 excused) so proponents can run a missing amendment. The Ryden amendment to lay the bill over was adopted.
- House Bill 10‑93 (limits on local land-use policies that reduce growth in urban census areas): Passed the House after floor debate and committee amendments; sponsors said the measure prevents certain urban areas from reducing total residential capacity without offsetting increases elsewhere and allows a legal‑review mechanism for jurisdictions presented with initiatives that reduce or restrict land use.
- House Bill 10‑86 (timing of enactment for the interstate compact on placement of children): Passed. Sponsors described the bill as technical cleanup to clarify when Colorado will adopt the compact’s regulations once 35 states join the compact.
Other procedural notes: the Committee of the Whole report covering several bills (including House bills 10‑18 as amended, 10‑41 as amended, 10‑86, 10‑93 as amended, 11‑14 as amended, and 11‑24) was reported back to the full House and placed on the calendar for third reading and final passage. The Committee of the Whole report was adopted on a recorded vote (41 yes, 20 no, 4 excused).
