Representative Smith, the bill sponsor, said the measure is intended to ensure Colorado institutions can participate competitively with forthcoming NCAA rules and a settlement expected to be finalized in April. ‘‘This bill will allow an institution of higher education or athletic association to compensate a student athlete for the use of a student athlete's name, image, or likeness,’’ Representative Smith said on the floor.

Lawmakers debated two related policy areas in committee and on the floor: the confidentiality of athlete contracts and transparency/reporting for the public. Sponsors and proponents noted protections for personally identifiable information under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and said the bill was amended to specify which financial terms and contract elements are protected. The bill also adds reporting requirements for institutions — the sponsor described amendments requiring reporting of total NIL dollars by sport and by gender for University of Colorado (CU) programs.

Several members raised transparency concerns. Representative Hartzock and others said public institutions traditionally disclose many contract values and argued the public should have access to how public funds or auxiliaries are spent. Several proposed amendments that would have shortened or limited contract confidentiality (for example, temporary sealing or delayed disclosure of compensation amounts) were offered during committee meetings but were withdrawn by their proponents after discussion.

Representative AML Bacon explained that some members proposed time-limited sealings — for example, redacting personally identifiable information but releasing aggregated contract amounts after two academic years — but withdrew those amendments after stakeholder conversations. The sponsor said committee deliberations included changes excluding high school students and clarifying the specific types of financial information covered by FERPA and the bill’s language.

After floor discussion emphasizing bipartisan compromise on parental‑consent protections for minors and reporting requirements, the House adopted the committee report and passed House Bill 10‑41.

What’s next: The bill was ordered revised and placed on the calendar for third reading and final passage, per the Committee of the Whole report.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Colorado House 2025 Legislative Day 038 (2025-02-14)","oneSentenceSummary","The House on Feb. 14 approved House Bill 10‑41, allowing Colorado public higher-education institutions to compensate student athletes for name, image and likeness.","taxTitle","HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Committees, Legislative, Colorado","taxId",15006,"location","Colorado","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6327342,"House adopts bill on evidence viewings; debate over body-worn camera use ends with amendment defeats",722,2251000,2973000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2322528-49d31ec893dce718c02cd9bda4c90eca&start=2251&end=2973","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2322528-49d31ec893dce718c02cd9bda4c90eca/thumbnail_2251000.jpg","/articles/6327342/Colorado/House-adopts-bill-on-evidence-viewings-debate-over-body-worn-camera-use-ends-with-amendment-defeats","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6327342-f9400e3948c487b7936b557038178c44/orig.mp4?Expires=1770951435&Signature=aYTEiAn66LiSt2PhW4i~3U-wQCcYDIkkg1esXpPLNVY7UFqqWfhVTrohiLj8HlYL0FcnA805mvIQDK40r8cD7cz-SBn7ALp~b9cOi7HDzIFuc6pEGh5EZmaI5gC3dZVGqI-XaFYggU2v0hVE47tHdecPMMLHgbHhjIo9McqStQgKQjMJ96XfyzL2RWHqB2dsyfdga1z~Cvg3G4sRF6AYwdghXgST~8HH0dPH~fOObJPJupXQqQBmQQvQNTN9JtqSVhLs3lG0f3LDGKrG-toCvNfD99dKE0ei1sWdSQnvBgi4mVcCDq0rymq4xmIfzr13dYR7xgT2zx8~RXX~0R4dTQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House on Feb. 14 adopted House Bill 11‑14, which governs how the defense may review tangible objects in preparation for criminal trials and sets conditions for recordings made during evidence viewings by law enforcement. Representative Carter moved the bill and carried it through committee and the floor.

Supporters said the bill clarifies procedures for evidence viewing and preserves chain-of-custody protections. Representative Carter said the bill and a committee amendment were developed with ‘‘the district attorneys, as well as the sheriffs’’ and noted added language about recording and notification to prosecutors and defense counsel.

The bill, as amended in committee, does not require law enforcement to record an evidence viewing. It provides that if law enforcement records an evidence viewing, the recording must be limited to preserving chain-of-custody, the integrity and safety of the evidence, and that law enforcement must notify the district attorney, who in turn must notify the defense.

Representative Armagost offered amendments intended to clarify what objects must remain in frame during a recorded viewing and to allow law enforcement to rely on existing body-worn camera systems for the required recordings. An initial Armagost amendment to require that any object included in a recorded viewing remain entirely within the camera's field of view was offered but failed. A subsequent Armagost proposal to allow use of body‑worn cameras in lieu of other recording systems also failed on recorded machine votes in the Committee of the Whole (first Armagost amendment: 19 yes, 42 no, 4 excused; second Armagost amendment: 22 yes, 39 no, 4 excused).

During floor debate, proponents argued smaller agencies should be able to rely on existing body-worn camera equipment rather than incur new equipment and storage costs. Opponents — including Representative Espinosa — said body‑worn camera footage is often stored in systems that cannot be adequately segregated to protect defense interests and Sixth Amendment concerns.

After votes on the committee report and the failed Armagost floor amendments, the House adopted the committee report and then passed House Bill 11‑14.

The action leaves in place the committee’s compromise language that conditions any recording by law enforcement to limited, evidence‑integrity purposes and notification to the prosecution and defense.

What’s next: The bill passed the House and was ordered placed on the calendar for third reading and final passage, per the Committee of the Whole report.","The Colorado House on Feb. 14 approved House Bill 11‑14, which addresses procedures for defense review of tangible evidence and sets rules when law enforcement records evidence viewings.

Below are outcomes for the principal items the chamber addressed that day.

- Senate Bill 10 (electronic communications and health insurance): Passed on the floor. Sponsors said the bill authorizes electronic communications for required notices related to consumer health insurance benefits, allows two‑way electronic communications with plans, and preserves the right to receive paper notices at no additional cost. The floor motion to pass was granted and the bill was ordered revised and placed on the calendar for third reading and final passage.

- House Bill 11‑24 (universal contracting for behavioral health safety net services): Initially reported as adopted in committee, the Committee of the Whole subsequently voted to lay House Bill 11‑24 over to Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2025, by recorded vote (60 yes, 1 no, 4 excused) so proponents can run a missing amendment. The Ryden amendment to lay the bill over was adopted.

- House Bill 10‑93 (limits on local land-use policies that reduce growth in urban census areas): Passed the House after floor debate and committee amendments; sponsors said the measure prevents certain urban areas from reducing total residential capacity without offsetting increases elsewhere and allows a legal‑review mechanism for jurisdictions presented with initiatives that reduce or restrict land use.

- House Bill 10‑86 (timing of enactment for the interstate compact on placement of children): Passed. Sponsors described the bill as technical cleanup to clarify when Colorado will adopt the compact’s regulations once 35 states join the compact.

Other procedural notes: the Committee of the Whole report covering several bills (including House bills 10‑18 as amended, 10‑41 as amended, 10‑86, 10‑93 as amended, 11‑14 as amended, and 11‑24) was reported back to the full House and placed on the calendar for third reading and final passage. The Committee of the Whole report was adopted on a recorded vote (41 yes, 20 no, 4 excused).","Summary of committee and floor actions taken Feb. 14, including final passage of several bills and committee-of-the-whole outcomes; House advanced multiple measures and laid one bill over for further consideration.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6327333,"House eases access to vocational rehabilitation services by removing financial-need barrier",341,2853000,3194000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2322528-49d31ec893dce718c02cd9bda4c90eca&start=2853&end=3194","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2322528-49d31ec893dce718c02cd9bda4c90eca/thumbnail_2853000.jpg","/articles/6327333/Colorado/House-eases-access-to-vocational-rehabilitation-services-by-removing-financial-need-barrier","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6327333-fc22dbb5fec639a601de3a5ffd308e09/orig.mp4?Expires=1770951435&Signature=gnmr~jaBqfnNWVtipMI6vGBSiQc65h8niD4~JtvoZIL6h09Ek2euztmmcTHkqgkm-890dnbTPFAp7QJ9egK4hslt4ViFVc9vlGRCkVxiCEB9QcGatPxlSQJporoJefw~1lN8EGRi1Wmdk8qnl9I2v0uXJpPtQGHEJl3G5~409KM9wyzDpCj7cGZWd7flH5nv7jVJlEsJuzz0SpFR1L31wxmBkjKKJB2rJKPTD22SF75y5P0P1Fif21QMzGQZvdamiB~h9Xa1IUZfvJGT1e-XBT6SVuUfN9sDqXE8uZQq-AYCFeCpMYLcMKbLI2c6UozyFQFuLnLxYxspDnd1BfuFBQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House on Feb. 14 passed House Bill 10‑18, which removes a statutory financial-need analysis as a barrier to accessing Department of Labor and Employment vocational rehabilitation services. Representative Ryden sponsored the bill.

Supporters said the requirement deterred eligible Coloradans with disabilities from obtaining employment supports. Representative Ryden said removing the requirement ‘‘will increase access to vocational rehab services for Coloradans with disabilities’’ and streamline counselor time toward service delivery.

Members adopted a committee amendment that the sponsor described as a compromise: the amendment establishes a reporting mechanism to the state’s SMART Act review process over a two-year period so lawmakers can understand changes in program utilization, federal-state funding flows, and possible fiscal impacts. Representative Ryden said the amendment was intended to provide guardrails so that increased utilization does not produce unforeseen statewide fiscal pressure.

Representative Gilchrist and other proponents argued the change would help more people gain employment and economic independence. Representative Armagost described the amendment as a compromise to create guardrails and avoid an immediate large fiscal note.

The House adopted the committee report and passed the bill.

What’s next: The bill was placed on the calendar for third reading and final passage, and the reporting language will create a two‑year monitoring period in the SMART Act review process.","House Bill 10‑18 eliminates a statutory requirement that some applicants demonstrate financial need to receive state vocational rehabilitation services; lawmakers added a reporting mechanism intended to monitor demand and fiscal effects after the change.","actionData","errors"]
