Colorado Senate transmits multiple House bills to reviser, lays over resolutions and memorial, then adjourns
Summary
The Colorado Senate transmitted several House bills to the reviser of statutes, laid over two joint resolutions and a joint memorial for later consideration, introduced new Senate bills for committee referral, and adjourned until Feb. 11, 2026.
The Colorado Senate on the floor transmitted multiple House measures to the reviser of statutes, laid over three separate joint measures for later consideration and adjourned until 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026.
Speaker 2, acting as the reading clerk, announced that several House bills had passed the House on third reading and were being sent to the reviser of statutes, including House Bill 1038 (printed in the House Journal Feb. 5, 2026), House Bill 1020, House Bill 1040, House Bill 1003 (printed Feb. 9, 2026), and House Bill 1035 as amended.
Why it matters: transmitting bills to the reviser is a routine step that prepares enacted measures for formal codification. The measures announced were passed by the House and will be handled administratively by the reviser before being returned for any final Senate action or enrollment.
The chamber also considered several joint measures. Speaker 2 read Senate Joint Resolution 10 (sponsored in the text by Senator Gonzales and Representatives Nguyen and Soper), a resolution to celebrate Lunar New Year 2026; Speaker 3 moved to lay SJR 10 over until Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026, and the motion carried by voice vote. Later, Speaker 2 read Senate Joint Resolution 11 (sponsored by Senators Marshman and Kirkmeyer and Representative Basnick) to designate a portion of U.S. Highway 34 in memory of Sergeant John Jack Thurman; Speaker 3 moved to lay SJR 11 over until Thursday, Feb. 12, 2026, and the motion carried by voice vote.
Speaker 2 also read Senate Joint Memorial 001 (sponsored by Senators Cutter and Marchman and Representative Wilford) memorializing Senator Faith Winter; Speaker 3 moved to lay the memorial over until Friday, Feb. 13, 2026, and the motion carried.
On formal actions: each layover motion passed by voice vote. Individual roll-call tallies were not given in the transcript and are therefore not specified here. The president was recorded as having signed Senate Joint Resolutions 8 and 9 earlier in the session.
The Senate concluded the day when Speaker 3 moved that the chamber adjourn until 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026; the motion carried on a voice vote and the presiding officer declared the Senate adjourned.
What’s next: The laid-over resolutions and the memorial are scheduled for further consideration on the dates specified when they were laid over. The transmitted House bills will continue through administrative processing with the reviser of statutes.
