Colorado Senate 2026 Legislative Day 100

Thank you and good morning. I move that the Senate Journal of yesterday, Wednesday, the 22nd of April, be approved as corrected by the Secretary.

personal privilege. Yeah. Senator Snyder. Thank you Mr. President and I ask for a moment of personal

today to rise and recognize an outstanding group of young leaders visiting here at the Capitol. You may notice that we have some people in scout uniforms. So we are pleased to welcome Troop 873 of USA Scouting, representing the Highlands Ranch community to the Colorado Senate. These scouts are here today in connection with Sportsman's Day at the Capitol, where they are contributing in a meaningful and hands-on way. As part of their service project, they are assisting with setting up food service, cleanup for today's event, demonstrating their spirit of service that is central to scouting. They're actually manning the sportsman's lunch today. In addition to their service, these young individuals are taking the opportunity to engage directly in the civic process. They are observing a session of Colorado General Assembly, meeting with legislators to better understand how laws are made and how public service operates in our state. Their participation today will help fulfill requirements for their citizenship in the community and citizenship in nation merit badges. both important milestones on the path toward achieving the rank of Eagle Scout.

And for the benefit of the Senate, Senator Carson will be fined $1 for not asking for a moment of personal privilege. It's only $1. Wow. Senator Roberts. Thank you, Mr. President. I asked for a moment of personal privilege. Granted. Thank you, Mr. President. colleagues. You heard a little bit about it in the previous moment of personal privilege, but today is Colorado Sportsman's Day here at the Capitol, and glad to be here with the good Senator from Cheyenne Wells to read a tribute for the sportsmen and women who are here in the chamber with us, as well as going to be throughout the building today, and welcome you all to a delicious lunch starting at 11 o'clock on the east side outside. But I'll read the tribute here. The Colorado General Assembly would like to recognize April 23rd as Colorado Sportsman's Day at the Capitol. The Colorado Legislative Sportsman's Caucus, a chapter of the Congressional Sportsman's Foundation, is a nonpartisan caucus that was formed in 2002. The mission of the Sportsman's Caucus is to preserve and promote the traditional rights of American citizens to hunt, fish, and pursue outdoor activities, to ensure that America's sportsmen and women have reasonable access to public lands, to enjoy outdoor pursuits, to support efforts to enhance multiple-use habitat management for wildlife and fisheries, and work as a collaborative partner with the agricultural community in providing and protecting wildlife habitats. Colorado State Senate, with the House of Representatives concurring therein, recognizes the efforts of the Colorado Legislative Sportsman's Caucus as it strives to assist sportsmen and women to uphold their critical role in maintaining an economically vibrant and environmentally healthy Colorado. We do, as I mentioned, have some of our sportsmen and women representatives here in the chamber. If you guys want to rise and be recognized, I want to thank you for your efforts in conservation and wildlife management and recognize the enormous economic and cultural benefit that they bring to the state of Colorado. So whether you hunt or fish yourself or know somebody that hunts and fish, it is so important to our state of Colorado, and we want to thank you all for being leaders in that space. So thank you for being here today. Happy Sportsman's Day. Senator Pelton.

Granted.

Thank you for the moments of personal privilege. Seeing none, Mr. Majority Leader. Oh, we are at a moment of personal privilege. Sorry. Mr. Majority Leader. I'm not the president. Thank you, Madam President. I ask for a moment of personal privilege. Granted. Colleagues, it's a very exciting day for us. If you look around, most of the people standing around doing the work for us, it is a depreciation day. I'd like to thank everybody here. We made sure to bring outdoor food for you and set this all up so you guys could eat free lunch today. I have a tribute that I'd like to read. The Senate of the Colorado Legislature convened in the second regular session of the 75th General Assembly hereby extends heartfelt congratulations and commendation to the 2026 Senate legislative aides. In honor of all their hard work as legislative aides to their state. senators and the efforts they have made to support the state of Colorado in the 2026 legislative session. Their accomplishments will have a lasting impact beyond the walls of this building and stretch into every corner of the state of Colorado. Their critical work helps make all of this happen to the Capitol possible and for that we thank them. On request of Senator James Coleman given this 23rd day, April 2026, State Capitol Denver, Colorado, James Rashad Coleman Sr., President of the Senate. Just want to acknowledge all the work you guys do for us, you know, sometimes you make the clocks run for all of us probably type these up for us as we'll get them from us later but you know the work that they do so we can do the work in here and get the work done is can't be done without them they help us with constituent emails phone calls they call every they let us know when things are blowing up or they get something that we need to address I can't none of this could be done without the work that you guys provide for us so just from that I just give you my heartfelt thanks and Mr. Minority Leader. Thank you Mr. President in a moment of personal privilege. Great. I'm not sure what else to say. A heartfelt thank you to the aides. Your service is honorable and so valued in this building, and as legislators couldn't agree more with the majority leader, like I don't know how we would do this job without all of you and your support. It means so much to us, and hopefully you get as much out of it as we get out of it. Thank you again, and what a great day, and a privilege to honor the aides today at the Capitol. Senator Gonzales.

Granted.

Special orders, second reading of bills, Mr. Majority Leader. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. I move to pull up on special orders, second reading of bills, Senate Bill 149. It is on printed on the printed calendar on page three. It is the only bill we'll be pulling up at the hour of 9.52 a.m. The motion is to take up that bill on special orders at the hour of 9.52 a.m. This requires a two-thirds vote. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Polls no. The ayes have it. And that motion is adopted. The Senate will take up that bill on special orders at the hour of 9.52 a.m. Special orders. Second reading of the bill, Senator Ball.

You've heard the motion. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Polls no. The ayes have it. The motion is adopted. The Senate will resolve itself into the Committee of the Whole. consideration. A special order of seconder bill, Senator Ball will take the chair. Get your side.

Senate Bill 149 by Senators Amabile and Simpson and Representatives Caldwell and McCluskey

Tell us about the committee report from Judiciary.

on the Judiciary Committee report? Seeing none, the motion is the adoption of the Judiciary Committee report. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Those opposed, no. The ayes have it. and the report is adopted. To the Appropriations Committee report, Senator Mable.

Is there any discussion on the Appropriations Committee report? Seeing none, the motion is the adoption of the Appropriations Committee report. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Those opposed, no. The ayes have it and the report is adopted. To the bill. Senator Simpson.

Senator Mable.

Is there any further discussion on Senate Bill 149? Senator Kerkmeyer.

Will the clerk please read the amendment L049?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move L049.

Yes, I would. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Again, what this does is it doesn't stop the judicial branch from going through the process. It just says, look, let's get some time here and here and make sure that you do have an understanding of what the impacts are from this bill. And then you can go through the normal budget process to ensure that you get, if necessary, any additional staff. So what it does is it does reduce by half, because I'm pretty sure there is no way that the judicial department can hire 24 FTE in a month's time. because that's what they're asking for in the first year. It cuts them in half saying that they have, they still have the year to go out and start hiring people, but they have the year to go out and hire at least half of those individuals. And then if they need to, when we go through the budget process next year, they have the ability to come in and talk to the Joint Budget Committee about what truly is going on with the requirement for new outpatient civil certifications, for new protective placements, and any additional civil commitments and enhance protective placements. So again, it just cuts this in half. That's why there's a bunch of numbers here. It does not eliminate the funding for the capital outlay that is necessary. It does not eliminate any funding for the IT infrastructure that is needed to get in place to make this bill work the way we're hoping that it works. So I would ask for an aye vote. That's simply what it does. And again, I ask for an aye vote.

Senator Mabley. Thank you, Mr. Chair. and we both support this amendment and would also ask for an aye vote.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Couldn't agree more, and look, we're in a little bit of uncharted territory. Just trying to figure out how big is the population we're trying to serve, which generates a lot of uncertainty in the budgetary request and the fiscal analysis. Some estimates are, you know, 60 to 70 folks. Some estimates are 20 or 30 folks. somewhere in the middle maybe is where we landed. So I'm in full support of Amendment 49. There's still a correction process. Entities, departments can go through. If we miss the mark somehow, we find out something differently next year. That's why we go through supplemental. So I'm in full support of Amendment 49.

You've got to offer it first. Oh. There is an amendment at the desk. I would like to move.

Amendment L055, amended Judiciary Committee report dated April 20, 2026.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move amendment 55.

So as a continuing part of the conversation around the previous amendment, we are in uncharted waters. And so in the original negotiations, we put in the bill an over-spenditure authority for Department of Human Services. But because we don't know what's going to happen, And we don't know how many people we're going to end up needing these placements for. But that also, and there's a big difference between what the department thinks, even in the fiscal note there's a departmental difference, but there's a big difference between what could happen and what is actually in the fiscal note for this population. But we have worked out something which hopefully will bring tomorrow as a technical amendment on third reading, you can boo now, that will provide a different solve for that and make it easier for the department to come in and get authority to spend more on this if indeed we need that. And so this strikes the overspend authority, and I ask for a yes vote.

Amendment L50, amendment to the judiciary.

I move L050 to Senate Bill 149.

A much more simple amendment than the multiple pages we've dealt with so far. It just changes shall to May as it relates to Bridges' appointment, not the senator, but the other Bridges' appointment in 16-8.5-117. And ask for an aye vote. Is there any further discussion on amendment?

so this will actually reduce the fiscal note for that agency. But they will still be there to provide the support as needed. Ask for a yes vote.

Those opposed, no. The ayes have it, and the amendment is adopted. There is an amendment at the desk. Will the clerk please read amendment L-51? Amendment L-51, I'm in the judiciary committee report. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move amendment L-051 to Senate Bill 149. To the amendment. Mr Chair this just adds some clarifying language at the request of the DAs in agreement with the Department of Human Services Is there any further discussion on amendment L Seeing none the motion is the adoption of Amendment L All those in favor say aye Aye Those opposed no The ayes have it, and the amendment is adopted. There is an amendment at the desk. Will the clerk please read Amendment L-52? Amendment L-52, Amendment Judiciary Committee Report, dated April 20, 2026, page 11. Senator Mobley. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Sure. So I move Amendment L-52. To the amendment. Thank you. So we put part of the negotiations, there were a lot of people involved in negotiating what this bill does. And at the behest of some of the advocates, we put a repeal in the bill, a five-year repeal, so that if what we're doing isn't working as we intended, we will have to come back and make some adjustments. And no matter what, we'll have to come back and either affirm that we're doing the right thing, make adjustments to what we're doing, or do something different. And we didn't have the dates quite right for this five-year repeal, and this is a technical amendment to address that. I ask for a yes vote. Is there any further discussion on Amendment L52? Seeing none, the motion is the adoption of Amendment L52. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Those opposed, no. The ayes have it, and the amendment is adopted. There is an amendment at the desk. Will the clerk please read of Amendment L-53? Amendment L-53, Amendment Judiciary Committee Report. Mr. Minority Leader. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move L-053. To the amendment. It's a small technical change identified by the publications team after the amendments were rolled into the bill. Is there any further discussion on Amendment L-53? Seeing none, the motion is the adoption of Amendment L-53. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Those opposed, no. The ayes have it, and the amendment is adopted. Is there any further discussion on Senate Bill 149? Mr. Minority Leader? No. Oh, not a raised hand. Any further discussion on amendment, I'm sorry, on Senate Bill 149? Seeing none, the motion is the adoption of Senate Bill 149. All those in favor say aye. Those opposed, no. The ayes have it, and the bill is adopted. Mr. Minority Leader? Sorry, Mr. Majority Leader.
