Senate receives committee reports, lays over highway designation and adjourns
Summary
The Colorado Senate opened its April 2, 2026 floor session, heard multiple committee reports and House messages, laid over HJR1024 (a highway-designation resolution) until April 8, and voted to adjourn until April 6. Clerks also read a long list of bills that were passed on third reading and transmitted to the reviser of statutes.
The Colorado Senate convened April 2, 2026, and the clerk reported multiple committee recommendations and messages from the House, including a long list of bills passed on third reading and transmitted to the reviser of statutes.
The clerk (reading committee reports) said the Committee on State Veterans and Military Affairs recommended amending Senate Bill 147 and, as amended, referring it to the Committee on Appropriations with a favorable recommendation; the committee also recommended amending House Bill 1088 and referring it to Appropriations with a favorable recommendation. The clerk similarly reported recommendations from the committees on Business, Labor and Technology, Local Government and Housing, and Agriculture and Natural Resources regarding referral or amendment of several bills.
The clerk transmitted a House message conveying that the House adopted and transmitted House Joint Resolution 1024 and listed numerous House bills that the House had repassed as amended. The clerk also reported that the House did not concur in Senate amendments to House Bill 1038 and that the House requested a conference committee, naming Representative Paschal, Chair Clifford, and Flannel as the House conferees.
On the resolution reported as HJR1024 — which would designate State Highway 92 in Delta County from mile marker 3 to mile marker 7 as the Educators And Teachers Memorial Highway — Majority Leader Roberts moved to lay the resolution over until Wednesday, April 8, 2026. The Senate voted in favor of the layover motion and the motion carried.
In other floor business, the clerk announced the reviser had transmitted multiple bills without comment as amended. The clerk read several bill numbers and journal citations indicating transmittal to the reviser after passage on third reading; the session record lists a series of House and Senate bills transmitted to the reviser (details read aloud by the clerk during the floor session).
Majority Leader Roberts moved that the Senate adjourn until 10 a.m. on Monday, April 6, 2026; the presiding officer put the question, the ayes prevailed, and the Senate adjourned until that date.
Votes at a glance: the Senate approved the motion to lay over HJR1024 until April 8, 2026, and approved the motion to adjourn until April 6, 2026. A long list of House and Senate bills was announced as passed on third reading and transmitted to the reviser; the clerk read those titles and journal citations but did not record roll-call vote tallies for each transmittal on the floor record presented here.
Next steps: HJR1024 will be placed on the calendar for consideration after the layover date; other bills announced as transmitted to the reviser have completed the Senate's floor action and were sent to the reviser of statutes per the clerk's announcements.
