The Colorado Senate on Jan. 21, 2025, adopted Senate Resolution 3, which makes the temporary rules of the Senate of the 75th General Assembly permanent, and adopted House Joint Resolution 1005 commemorating Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The Senate also approved its Jan. 17, 2025 journal.
Senate Resolution 3, introduced and moved for adoption by Majority Leader Robert Rodriguez, passed by a recorded vote of 31 ayes, 0 no, 0 absent and 4 excused. "With a vote of 31 ayes, 0 no, 0 absent, and 4 excused, S.R. 3 is adopted," the clerk announced after the voice call.
House Joint Resolution 1005, moved by Majority Leader Rodriguez, was adopted by the same recorded tally: 31 ayes, 0 no, 0 absent and 4 excused. The clerk read the title of H.J.R. 1005 before the motion to adopt and the announcement of the vote followed shortly after.
Senator Kipp moved that the Senate journal of Jan. 17, 2025, be approved "as corrected by the secretary." The motion was adopted on a voice vote; an exact numerical roll-call tally for the journal approval was not specified in the transcript.
Other routine floor business included the clerk reading printed material (Senate Bill 56, Senate Joint Resolution 4, Senate Resolution 3 printed Jan. 21, 2025) and a motion from the majority leader to recess until 11 a.m., which the Senate approved.
These items were acted on with little or no debate recorded on the floor during the Jan. 21 morning session.
