The Committee on Health and Human Services recommended that the appointment of Gretchen Hammer as executive director of the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing be placed on the Senate consent calendar for confirmation, the Majority Leader said on the Senate floor.
The recommendation, read into the record by the Majority Leader, said the committee “has had a consideration, had a hearing on the following appointments, and recommends that the appointments be placed on the consent calendar and confirm.” The announcement identified Gretchen Hammer of Denver as the nominee for executive director, with a term “expiring at the pleasure of the governor.”
The placement on the consent calendar means the nomination is slated for confirmation consideration without separate floor debate unless removed for separate action. The committee’s report was presented during the committee-reports portion of the session.
The Senate adjourned after the announcements and will reconvene at 9 a.m. on Thursday, April 9, 2026.
