Senate reads bills on plastic disposal, Front Range passenger rail, jury selection and conversion therapy
Summary
The Senate clerk read multiple bills including SB171 (restricting disposal of preproduction plastics), SB172 (Front Range Passenger Rail district), HB1288 (jury selection changes) and HB1322 (civil actions related to conversion therapy); each was referred to the committee listed by the clerk.
The Colorado Senate opened a session of routine business and the clerk read a slate of new bills and their committee referrals.
"Senate Bill 171, by Senators Cutter and Wallace, concerning prohibiting the disposal of preproduction plastic materials at a location that does not have a certificate of designation to operate as a solid waste disposal site and facility," the clerk read, placing the measure with the Transportation and Energy committee. The bill, as described on the floor, would bar disposal of certain preproduction plastics at non-designated solid waste facilities.
The clerk also read "Senate Bill 172 by Senators Henderson and Kipp, and Representatives Basnicker and Pasco, concerning the Front Range Passenger rail district," which was likewise assigned to Transportation and Energy. On the House side, the clerk read House Bill 1288 by Representatives Joseph and Carter and Senators Roberts and Wallace concerning measures related to jury selection and referred it to Judiciary. The clerk further read House Bill 1322 by Representatives Valdez and McCormick and Senators Cutter and Mullica concerning civil actions against certain individuals engaging in conversion therapy, also sent to Judiciary.
These introductions consisted of the formal floor reading of titles and sponsors; the clerk’s statements established the authorship and committee referrals but did not include debate or detailed bill text on the floor record. Further consideration, hearings or amendments will occur in the committees named by the clerk.
The clerk’s readings are recorded on the Senate floor transcript; the measures are now in committee for further action.
