Summary
On the Senate floor, committee reports recommended referrals and consent-calendar placement for multiple House and Senate bills and recommended three appointments to the Geologic Storage Stewardship Enterprise Board, each with stated term expirations and expertise.
Committee reports read on the Colorado Senate floor recommended that several House and Senate bills be referred to committees or placed on the consent calendar and that three appointees to a geologic storage oversight board be confirmed.
Mr. Schauffler read the Committee on Business, Labor and Technology report recommending that "House Bill 1228 be referred to the Committee of the Whole with favorable recommendation, and with a recommendation that it be placed on the consent calendar," that Senate Bill 133 be referred favorably to Appropriations, and that Senate Bill 127 be postponed indefinitely.
He also read recommendations from the Committee on Local Government and Housing (House Bill 1045 referred as a whole with a favorable recommendation) and from the Committee on Health and Human Services (House Bill 1305 and House Bill 1116 to the Committee of the Whole with favorable recommendation and consent-calendar placement; House Bill 1280 referred favorably to Appropriations; House Bill 1194 to be amended and, if amended, sent to Appropriations).
The Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources recommended that House Bill 1213 be sent to the Committee of the Whole with a favorable recommendation and placed on the consent calendar. That same committee reported on appointments and recommended that the following individuals be placed on the consent calendar and confirmed to the Geologic Storage Stewardship Enterprise Board: Ashley Ross of Golden (term expiring 09/01/2026), Robert Randall of Denver (term expiring 09/01/2027), and Anna Littlefield of Evergreen (term expiring 09/01/2028). The transcript notes the committees specified desired expertise for these appointments (for example, actuarial-science background, environmental protection or public-health training, and expertise in wellbore monitoring and long-term stewardship).
