February 14 is set to be officially recognized as "Colorado Read to Your Child Day," following the introduction of Senate Joint Resolution 007 by Senators Bridges and Kirkmayer, along with Representatives Sirota and Taggart. The resolution aims to promote literacy and encourage parents to read to their children, fostering a love for reading from an early age.

During the Colorado State Legislature's Senate Daily Reading on February 11, 2025, the motion to lay over the resolution until Valentine's Day was passed, despite a surprising no vote from the motion's maker. This decision highlights the importance of the initiative, as it aligns with the celebration of love and education on a day dedicated to family connections.

In addition to the reading initiative, several bills were introduced, including Senate Bill 160, which addresses the sale of vehicles through franchise dealers, and Senate Bill 161, focused on transit reform to enhance coordination among transportation agencies. Other notable discussions included measures for railroad safety and the establishment of battery stewardship programs.

The session concluded with a motion to adjourn until 9 AM on February 12, 2025, as legislators continue to address key issues impacting Colorado's communities. The recognition of "Read to Your Child Day" is expected to encourage families across the state to engage in reading together, promoting literacy and bonding.
