Senate advances and amends SB32 to expand immunization access while preserving budget oversight

After extensive debate and multiple floor amendments, the Colorado Senate advanced Senate Bill 32 (promotion of immunization access), adopting compromise language that expands immunization access (including independent prescriptive authority for some providers) while adding budget safeguards to address state fiscal exposure; several liability and parental-consent amendments failed. SB32 passed committee of the whole and was ordered for third reading as amended.
