Summary
The Senate passed multiple bills on the consent calendar (including SB59, SB50, SB51, SB110, SB61, SB26) with recorded no votes on some items and gave final passage to SB21 (clean fleet enterprise) on third reading; several gubernatorial appointments were confirmed by voice vote.
The Colorado Senate on March 2 passed a package of bills on the consent calendar and approved the final passage of Senate Bill 21 on third reading.
Clerk-read titles on the consent calendar included Senate Bills 59, 50, 51, 110 (read as "1 10" in the record), 61 and 26. Majority Leader moved the passage of all bills on the third-reading consent calendar. Several senators requested to be recorded as 'no' on specific bills; the clerk recorded those requests and announced vote tallies as the chamber recorded results for individual measures.
Notable outcomes announced on the floor included:
- Senate Bill 59: Passed with a reported tally of 26 ayes, 9 no, 0 absent. Several senators asked to be recorded as no on SB59.
- Senate Bill 50: Passed (the clerk announced a tally of 32 ayes, 3 no when adding the president as a cosponsor on the floor).
- Senate Bill 51: Passed with a reported tally announced in the record (28 ayes, 7 no was recorded during the roll calls as announced on the floor).
- Senate Bill 110 (recorded as "1 10" in the session): Passed; the clerk announced a unanimous or large-aye result when read on the floor (35 ayes, 0 no reported for certain items in the sequence).
- Senate Bills 61 and 26: Announced as passed on the consent calendar (tallies announced on the floor indicated unanimous results for those items during the sequence of votes).
On third reading and final passage, Senate Bill 21, concerning authorization for a clean fleet enterprise to encourage replacement of high-emitting trucks with lower-emitting vehicles and fleets, was moved for final passage; the clerk announced the result as 33 ayes, 2 no, 0 absent, and SB21 was passed.
Separately, the Senate confirmed several gubernatorial appointments to the Colorado Tourism Office board of directors on the consent calendar (including appointees from Tabernash, Denver and Colorado Springs) by voice vote; the clerk recorded the confirmations with a tally of 35 ayes, 0 no.
The majority leader then moved the Senate into recess until 11:00 a.m.
