House passes wide package of supplemental appropriation bills; calendar laid over
Summary
The Colorado House moved and adopted a long series of supplemental appropriation bills (House Bills 1150–1179 and related measures) on third reading, recording individual tallies for each item, and laid over the remainder of the calendar until Feb. 13, 2026.
On Feb. 11 the Colorado House advanced and adopted a broad package of supplemental appropriation bills on third reading covering multiple state departments. Lawmakers considered individual bills on the floor and recorded outcomes for each measure.
Clerk readings and electronic votes recorded adoption for a sequence of bills that included (by the numbering read on the floor) House Bills 11 50, 11 51, 11 52, 11 53, 11 54, 11 55, 11 56, 11 57, 11 58, 11 59, 11 60, 11 61, 11 62, 11 63, 11 64, 11 65, 11 66 and continued through bills addressing regulatory agencies, capital construction, the State Education Fund and other departmental appropriations (through House Bill 11 79). Recorded tallies varied by bill; examples on the record included:
- House Bill 11 50 (Agriculture): adopted (with tally announced as 58 aye, 5 no, 2 excused). - House Bill 11 51 (Corrections): adopted (45 aye, 17 no, 2 excused). - House Bill 11 52: adopted (43 aye, 20 no, 2 excused). - House Bill 11 55 (Health Care Policy and Financing / Medicaid): adopted (40 aye, 23 no, 2 excused). - House Bill 11 62 (Military and Veterans Affairs): adopted (63 aye, 0 no, 2 excused). - House Bill 11 73 (IT/capital): adopted (60 aye, 3 no, 2 excused). - House Bill 11 75 (State Education Fund items): adopted (63 aye, 0 no, 2 excused).
During the sequence, leaders noted that the balance of the calendar would be laid over to Friday, Feb. 13, 2026. The House then stood in recess until later the same day. Many bills were noncontroversial on final passage; several drew substantive debate (notably corrections and Medicaid supplements, which are covered in separate coverage).
