Committee preserves Kidney Disease Prevention and Education Task Force until scheduled sunset
Summary
Sponsors said the Kidney Disease Prevention and Education Task Force met its goals; the committee voted to let the task force run through its scheduled sunset (final report due August 2026) and moved the sunset bill to the Committee of the Whole.
Representative Bradfield and Vice Chair Leader presented House Bill 12‑77, a sunset measure related to the Kidney Disease Prevention and Education Task Force. Sponsors described the task force’s multi‑year work on early detection, outreach and health equity, and thanked task force members and partnering organizations such as the National Kidney Foundation for their contributions.
Vice Chair Leader told the committee the task force’s final report is scheduled for release in August 2026 and said the National Kidney Foundation will continue elements of the public awareness campaign. CDPHE Deputy Director Alicia Haywood appeared for questions only and confirmed the task force has been housed at CDPHE for the last five years. No committee amendments were offered and sponsors moved the sunset to the Committee of the Whole; the roll call recorded the motion as passing unanimously (13‑0 in the transcript record).
Sponsors framed the vote as recognition of a successful multi‑year effort to improve screening and outreach for kidney disease and encouraged continued work through related legislation and agency efforts.
