Senator Rich sponsored the resolution and asked that it be read at length. The resolution’s text recognizes single-parent families and traces the observance to a 1984 presidential proclamation by President Ronald Reagan. Rich noted Janice Moglen’s long advocacy and thanked her, and other senators offered personal remarks about being raised by single parents or working in family law.

Senator Doherty, who said much of his career was in family law, urged senators to support single parents in tangible ways such as babysitting or bringing a meal. Several other senators shared personal anecdotes about parents who raised families on their own. After brief discussion, the Senate adopted SJR 014 unanimously on a roll call of 34 ayes, 0 no, 0 absent, 1 excused, 0 vacant. Senator Rich also asked that the day’s roll call be added as cosponsors to the resolution.

The resolution requests that a copy be sent to Janice Moglen; the Senate added current members on the roll as cosponsors. The adoption was recorded on the Senate floor; there was no opposing vote recorded in the transcript.","The Senate passed Senate Joint Resolution 014 recognizing March 21 as Single Parent Day and added the day's roll-call as cosponsors; sponsors and members shared personal remarks in support before the 34-0 vote.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6117651,"Senate told state budget introduction likely delayed one week",53,2597000,2650000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2729312-5c75c2008d9600a567fd90188bfff57d&start=2597&end=2650","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2729312-5c75c2008d9600a567fd90188bfff57d/thumbnail_2597000.jpg","/articles/6117651/Colorado/Senate-told-state-budget-introduction-likely-delayed-one-week","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6117651-a9a64cb82594891d9acd4ee42639074d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770673340&Signature=PlYk-bfBZLtqV65yqS~tYZxK-YP12uO2SZjZrPCCiLBmCgYuhI~cMB~xDu7udrOO4r-o83aCG4g-0OgTxA5zAPcmOBIpfRF0Zqj9a5jCLOUo2J9juiP7ucEL916xkSc9qAnFhr69qH3B0EYnS4ivmSkzlib~cRwg28nBXix7eNY3~nJagaQaOx78l8bK15pzo-U-WY2w3Pr04RFUzXqf~yz3Pm3cZauSuS-rP2MPsAG2tnDeVFUciTiRESTJLp7rbQrKwKRj4CJXSzGKmfGMvotGdAcPu-0y7C4l31Nn86jKgsS8ZV26sMGy9S0GlxTbSKwFp81yAenHCB9MQAaNnQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Senator Bridges announced during Friday’s floor session that the legislature should expect a roughly one-week delay in the budget introduction.

Bridges, speaking from the floor, said staff, committee chairs and drafters had been told the budget would be delayed by a week and advised senators to plan for an introduction not the coming Monday but the following Monday (she indicated March 31 as the anticipated introduction date). \"At this point, it looks like, almost certainly the budget will be delayed by 1 week,\" she said. She added that the shift would move what had been planned as the Senate's budget week to the House, and vice versa — \"the house week, what had been planned is the budget week in the house will now be the budget week in the senate. The budget week in the house will be the following week.\"

Bridges framed the change as provisional and contingent on further developments: \"That is assuming everything goes to plan from here, which, yeah. Who knows? But that's the plan.\" There was no formal motion or vote recorded on the floor about the schedule; the announcement was informational.

Senators resumed regular business after the announcement; no formal scheduling order was changed in the session record during that floor time.","Senator Bridges told colleagues the planned budget introduction would be delayed about one week, shifting the Senate’s schedule and affecting the House budget week.",{"_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},6117654,"Mary Kate Elizabeth Wallace sworn in to fill Colorado Senate District 17 vacancy",320,1742000,2062000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2729312-5c75c2008d9600a567fd90188bfff57d&start=1742&end=2062","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2729312-5c75c2008d9600a567fd90188bfff57d/thumbnail_1742000.jpg","/articles/6117654/Colorado/Mary-Kate-Elizabeth-Wallace-sworn-in-to-fill-Colorado-Senate-District-17-vacancy","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6117654-67f6e9bc4f24ff5662d0be1ffd34a088/orig.mp4?Expires=1770673340&Signature=TsNA10ytkpDSuk1Hj03xtyiPr6vrC2JobCfbSjfyaJvCEwpiEo1A1HRFpUX6cuaMkmYMNEV1G4eV9jHk1fCrJV~-jIpEVagCd1l-24tMLiROYSOD5CyJsRYt359E9uTd3GstToyX8RqooxMzzqtRWNosbV4HUofvNxZ4L81J1pWQaPERuVdC3cnecgqe4COITzchzvV15-HpkKwCK1IrdvFigY5BSnIBTf2pf1llA1ZqXre-PK2Itu-fnmKDG7s8RXndWxox7KBY47wEBfrYrhi3tzkqGE2aNvK9vKuWSJpzUZ2VKvYGkIeJtdPK~nhRuucPL2DO-sUQmNQ9WPK~9Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Colorado Senate accepted Secretary of State certification Friday and seated Mary Kate Elizabeth Wallace as the senator for Senate District 17 after the Committee on Credentials confirmed the vacancy committee appointment and Chief Justice Marquez administered the oath.

The matter began when the secretary of the senate announced the chamber had a certification from Secretary of State Jenna Griswold showing that the Democratic 17th Senate District vacancy committee had filed the nomination and that Mary Kate Katie Wallace had accepted the appointment. Secretary of State Jenna Griswold’s certification read in part: \"I, Jenna Griswold, Secretary of State, certify that the attached is a true and exact copy of the nomination by vacancy committee as filed in this office on 03/19/2025.\"

Majority Leader Rodriguez moved that a three-member Committee on Credentials be appointed. The Senate appointed Majority Leader Rodriguez (chair), Assistant Majority Leader Cutter and Minority Leader Lundin to the committee; the committee met, reported back, and the Senate adopted the committee’s report by unanimous voice vote. The credentials report recommended adoption of the Secretary of State’s communication and certification of the vacancy committee’s action.

Following the adopted report, Chief Justice Marquez administered the oath at the well. Wallace repeated the oath, beginning, “I, Mary Kate Elizabeth Wallace, do you solemnly swear… that I will support the Constitution of the United States … and of the State of Colorado … and will faithfully perform the duties of the office of state senator to which I was duly appointed … so help me God.” After the oath, Senators paused for photos and to congratulate the new senator.

The appointment fills the vacancy caused by the resignation of the Hon. Sonia Hawkes Lewis and the Senate recorded the roll updates so Wallace could be added to the chamber roll.

No formal dissent or roll-call challenge to the appointment was recorded on the floor during the credentialing and swearing process.","The Colorado Senate accepted a secretary of state certification and, after a credentials committee report, Chief Justice Marquez administered the oath to Mary Kate Elizabeth Wallace, appointing her to the Senate seat vacated by Sonia Hawkes Lewis.","actionData","errors"]
