The Colorado House convened on February 14, 2025, with a quorum established as 53 representatives were present and 12 excused. The session began with the Pledge of Allegiance, led by students from Rooney Ranch Elementary, followed by a roll call conducted by Mister Schiebel.
The meeting proceeded with the approval of the journal from the previous day, which was adopted without opposition. However, the atmosphere shifted as Minority Leader Puglisi delivered the somber news of the passing of former representative Rod Bockenfeld. He expressed condolences on behalf of the House and announced plans for a formal memorial tribute, acknowledging the support from both the Senate and former legislators.
Following this announcement, the House moved on to legislative business, with several bills scheduled for discussion, including House Bill 1041, House Bill 1114, House Bill 1124, House Bill 1018, House Bill 1093, and House Bill 1086. Representative Mabry took the chair to facilitate the committee's proceedings.
The meeting highlighted both the legislative agenda and the shared grief of the House members, marking a significant day in Colorado's legislative calendar. Further discussions on the proposed bills are expected in subsequent sessions.
