Summary
The Colorado Senate unanimously adopted Senate Joint Resolution 3, appointing members to the Colorado Commission on Uniform State Laws, and concurred with House amendments and repassed Senate Joint Resolution 2, a technical staffing amendment for the 75th General Assembly; both measures passed 31-0 with four senators excused.
The Colorado Senate on Thursday adopted two joint resolutions with unanimous recorded yes votes and four senators excused.
Senate Joint Resolution 3, introduced by Senator Coleman and Representative McCluskey and moved on the floor by Majority Leader Rodriguez, was adopted by a vote of 31 yes, 0 no, and 4 excused. The measure concerns appointments to the Colorado Commission on Uniform State Laws.
A second measure, Senate Joint Resolution 2, concerning officers and employees for the first regular session of the 75th General Assembly and amended in the House to add a job title that had been omitted, was the subject of a concurrence motion moved by Majority Leader Rodriguez. The Senate concurred with the House amendments and repassed SJR002 by a vote of 31 yes, 0 no, and 4 excused. Rodriguez described the change as a technical amendment to add an employee job title that was erroneously missed on the first pass.
Both measures were presented and voted without extended floor debate. The clerk read the titles as part of routine consideration; floor leaders moved adoption and concurrence and the presiding officer announced the tallies.
Other routine business during the session included approval of the Senate Journal for Jan. 13, 2025, signatures by the president on house measures noted on the floor, and floor announcements about scheduling and member leaves. The majority leader moved that the Senate adjourn until 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2025; a brief clarification about the start time followed before adjournment was taken.
