House committee reports refer multiple bills to Committee of the Whole; session adjourns until April 17
Summary
Clerk-read committee reports moved several House and Senate bills — including House Bills 1283, 1314, 1346 and 1347 and Senate Bills 6, 19, 83, 85, 103 and 153 — for referral to the Committee of the Whole or appropriations; a member then moved to adjourn until Friday, April 17 at 9 a.m.
The clerk read a series of committee recommendations in the Colorado House, forwarding multiple bills to the Committee of the Whole and other panels and recording actions for the House journal. The clerk announced referrals of Senate Bills 19, 103 and 153 to the Committee of the Whole with favorable recommendations and recommended House Bill 1346 be referred favorably to the Committee of the Whole.
The clerk also reported that the Committee on Health and Human Services recommended that House Bill 1314, as amended, and Senate Bill 6, as amended, be referred to the Committee of the Whole. House Bill 1347 was announced to be amended and the amendment referred to the Committee on Appropriations with a favorable recommendation. The Committee on Judiciary recommended House Bill 1283, as amended, and Senate Bill 85, as amended, be referred to the Committee of the Whole, and the Committee on Legal Services recommended Senate Bill 83 be referred to the Committee of the Whole with a favorable recommendation.
These readings were entered for the House journal; the clerk noted that bills, resolutions and memorials were signed and that the chief clerk’s office would deliver enrolled measures to the governor, with messages from the Senate and the reviser to be printed in the journal.
A member then moved, “Madam speaker, I move that the House stand in adjournment until Friday, April 17 at 9AM.” The record shows the chamber was adjourned to that date and time.
Most items announced in the session were procedural referrals and not final enactments; the referrals move bills to further consideration rather than completing action. Where the transcript records committee recommendations, those recommendations were read into the record but the House’s subsequent committee or floor votes (if any) are not recorded in this excerpt.
