The Colorado State Senate on Jan. 20, 2026, adopted House Joint Resolution 1002, a measure to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr., by a vote of 32 ayes, 0 no, and 3 excused. Senator Coleman moved for adoption during the morning floor session and the motion carried by the recorded tally announced from the dais.
Supporters moved immediately to add the roll call as co-sponsors. The majority leader asked that the recorded roll be listed as co-sponsors and the Senate agreed, adding the roll call to the bill's sponsor list.
The resolution was offered as a House–Senate joint measure (sponsored in the House by Representatives Bacon and Carter and in the Senate by Senators Coleman and Exum).

The action came amid routine morning business that included approval of the prior day's journal and a series of gubernatorial appointments read into the record. The Senate subsequently moved to adjourn until 9 a.m. on Jan. 21, 2026.
