House adopts staff appointment resolution, approves salary amendment and confirms three committees
Summary
The House adopted House Resolution 25-1002, approved an amendment and passage of Senate Joint Resolution 25-002, and confirmed appointments to three standing legislative committees with recorded votes showing 63 yeas, 1 excused and 1 vacancy.
The Colorado House on Jan. 13, 2025 adopted measures naming House employees, approved a technical salary amendment to a Senate joint resolution and confirmed appointments to three legislative committees, according to roll-call and machine votes recorded on the chamber floor.
Representative Eliza Hamrick moved the adoption of House Resolution 25-1002, described on the floor as the resolution naming partisan and nonpartisan House employees for the 1st regular session of the 75th General Assembly. The House closed the voting machine and the clerk reported the result: "With 63 I, 1 excused and 1 vacant, the resolution is adopted." The transcript records Representative Hamrick as the mover.
Representative Hamrick also moved the adoption of an amendment (L001) to Senate Joint Resolution 25-002, which the mover described as setting salary ranges for the House and Senate and correcting a technical omission concerning a newly added Senate position. The amendment passed by the same machine tally: 63 yeas, 1 excused and 1 vacancy. The House then moved SJR25-002 as amended and, after machine voting, the clerk announced, "With 63 I, 1 excused and 1 vacancy, Senate Joint Resolution 2 as amended is adopted." The transcript shows the amendment and final passage were handled in sequence on the floor.
Members also received a list of committee appointments. Appointments to the committees on House Services, Workplace Harassment, and Statutory Revision were announced and did not require recorded votes. The House then took recorded votes to confirm appointments to three statutorily governed committees: Legislative Audit, Legislative Council, and Committee on Legal Services. The majority leader (recorded in the transcript as Representative Monica Duran) moved confirmations. Pursuant to cited provisions of the Colorado Revised Statutes, each set of confirmations required a recorded vote; the clerk reported identical results for each: 63 yeas, 1 excused and 1 vacancy, and the appointments were confirmed.
No individual aye/nay votes by member name are listed in the portion of the transcript provided; only the machine tallies appear in the record. The transcript does not list the detailed personnel salary figures that SJR25-002 addresses or the specific job titles corrected by the amendment beyond a general description on the floor.
