Votes at a glance: consent calendar and repassages in Colorado Senate on April 23, 2026
Summary
The Colorado Senate approved multiple consent‑calendar bills and repassed several measures on April 23; recorded votes included HB1003 (28–7), HB1026 (31–4), HB1051 (32–3), SB117 (22–13) and other repassages noted on the floor.
During the April 23 session the Colorado Senate cleared a package of consent‑calendar bills and repassed several measures for delivery or further consideration.
Consent calendar: Majority leader moved passage of the consent calendar items including House bills 1003, 1026 and 1051. After several senators asked to be recorded as no votes, the Senate adopted the consent calendar with recorded tallies: House bill 1003 passed on final passage with a recorded vote of 28 ayes, 7 noes; House bill 1026 passed with a reported vote of 31 ayes, 4 noes; House bill 1051 passed with a reported vote of 32 ayes, 3 noes. Several individual senators asked to be recorded as no votes on specific bills and the clerk recorded those requests on the floor.
Repassages and third‑reading action: The Senate also considered and repassed a series of bills: Senate Bill 117 (permissible methods for lottery ticket sales) passed on third reading and final passage in a recorded vote of 22 ayes, 13 noes; Senate Bill 109 (building code standards for accessible housing) concurred with House amendments and was repassed (repass vote reported 25 ayes, 10 noes); Senate Bill 85 (military protection orders) and Senate Bill 60 (youth athlete mental health training) were concurred with and repassed by the Senate with recorded tallies reported on the floor; Senate Bill 144 and Senate Bill 40 were also concurred with and repassed and a set of bills was scheduled for delivery to the governor on April 23, 2026, at 09:45 a.m.
What this means: Passage and repassage actions move bills toward final enactment (delivery to the governor or final passage); recorded vote tallies above are those provided on the floor. Where the transcript lists individual recorded no‑vote requests, those are reflected in the official journal and clerk minutes.
Next steps: Several bills were placed on the calendar for third reading, delivery to the governor was scheduled for the morning, and committees announced subsequent hearings and meetings.
