Senate receives House messages transmitting multiple bills on March 5, 2026
Summary
The Colorado State Senate received messages from the House transmitting several bills and the Reviser of Statutes transmitted the documents; bills introduced include measures on pet transfers, maternal health equity, protections for minors in digital content, foreclosure procedures, elections, and chemical transparency in hair products. Committee referrals were announced; no floor votes on these bills were recorded in the transcript.
The Colorado State Senate opened its March 5, 2026 session to receive messages from the Colorado House transmitting multiple bills and related documents, the presiding officer said.
The House transmitted as passed on third reading "house bill 12 28" and sent "house bill 10 81," "house bill 11 20," and "house bill 10 84" to the Reviser of Statutes, with the House Journal entry noted for 03/05/2026, a senator reading the message stated. The Reviser likewise transmitted those bills "without comment," according to the transcript.
Why it matters: the bills cover a range of policy areas that will be vetted in committee: the hearing recorded introductions for a bill "concerning the transfer of certain pet animals in Colorado" (House Bill 10 11); a measure "to improve equity in maternal health" (House Bill 10 44); protections for minors featured in digital content (House Bill 10 58); proposed modifications to the Colorado Public Trustee Act related to foreclosure procedures (House Bill 10 98); election law changes (House Bill 11 13); and increased transparency regarding chemicals used in the processing of certain hair products (House Bill 11 35). The transcript associates committee referrals in the session to Health and Human Services, Judiciary, Local Government, State, Federal and Military Affairs, and Business, Labor and Technology as appropriate.
Details and next steps: the transcript records the introductions and the committee names as announced on the floor but does not record debate, votes, or bill text details for these items. For example, House Bill 10 11 was read as introduced by Representatives Duran and McCormick and Senators Rodriguez and Roberts and was followed by the presiding officer saying, verbatim, "Postpone indefinitely" and "Save it in military affairs." The Colorado Public Trustee Act was named in connection with House Bill 10 98; the transcript does not contain full statutory citations or bill text.
All items transmitted to the Senate will proceed through committee assignment and any committee hearings before potential floor action. The transcript does not record any formal floor votes on these bills during this session.
