Colorado House receives committee reports and introduces roughly 20 bills for committee review

The Colorado House of Representatives resumed its session and heard a series of committee reports and bill introductions, with members directing measures to appropriate standing committees for further consideration.

Committee reports read on the floor included recommendations from the Committee on Health and Human Services to amend and refer legislation (including House Bill 1002) to Appropriations and to refer other amended measures to the Committee of the Whole with a favorable recommendation. The Committee on Judiciary recommended postponing House Bill 1082 indefinitely. The Committee on Transportation, Housing and Local Government recommended amending House Bill 1076 and, as amended, referring it to the Committee of the Whole with a favorable recommendation.

On introductions, the House clerk read roughly 20 bills and one Senate joint resolution. Notable measures included House Bill 1194 (continuing the Office of Combative Sports and implementing recommendations from the Department of Regulatory Agencies' 2025 sunset report), House Bill 1195 (restrictions on use of artificial intelligence in psychotherapy services), House Bill 1202 (requiring the Department of Local Affairs to present a statewide homelessness prevention and resolution proposal and enabling multi‑jurisdictional homelessness authorities), and Senate Bill 12 (addressing compensable losses under the Colorado Crime Victim Compensation Act for enrolled members of federally recognized tribes). Most bills were assigned to relevant policy committees (for example, health-related bills to Health and Human Services, housing matters to Transportation, Housing and Local Government, and tax or funding items to Finance).

The floor announcement also noted that the Speaker had signed certain bills and that messages from the Senate and from the reviser would be printed in the House journal. There were no recorded floor votes or roll-call tallies in the transcript provided; the actions were procedural referrals, amendments recommended by committees, and one indefinite postponement.

Next steps: assigned committees will schedule hearings, review bill text, and may hold amendments or votes. Items referred to the Committee of the Whole will return to the full House for floor consideration after committee action. The transcript ends after recognition of Representative Martinez; subsequent committee activity and hearings are not recorded in this transcript.
