Senator Cutter moved for final passage. Senator Wiseman, speaking in favor, framed the bill as an update to long-standing consumer-protection principles and cited the 1914 Federal Trade Commission Act as precedent for prohibiting unfair methods of competition. Wiseman described concrete harms to tenants and low-income families, offering a specific example of a tenant who could not pay a utility bill because the vendor required an additional attached fee, which then exposed the tenant to eviction proceedings.

Supporters argued the bill clarifies when pricing practices cross the line into deceptive, unfair or unconscionable acts and practices under the state's consumer protection act. Opponents recorded their no votes at the roll call; the Clerk announced the final tally as 22 ayes and 12 no. The bill was entered as passed on the journal and cosponsors were recorded.

The Senate recorded the cosponsors and the vote; the bill will advance per legislative process for enrollment and transmittal to the other chamber or the governor as required.","House Bill 10 90, a consumer-protection measure aimed at deceptive pricing and hidden fees, passed the Senate after supporters highlighted harms to renters and households; the final vote was 22–12.",{"_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},6107132,"Senate adopts bill requiring healthcare practitioners to identify credentials at first patient contact",400,4901000,5301000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2778499-7040d05072ca7e1677c01a0040ed2474&start=4901&end=5301","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2778499-7040d05072ca7e1677c01a0040ed2474/thumbnail_4901000.jpg","/articles/6107132/Colorado/Senate-adopts-bill-requiring-healthcare-practitioners-to-identify-credentials-at-first-patient-contact","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6107132-5094b921f22bc9ff536410389a7beb25/orig.mp4?Expires=1770935751&Signature=k9yn-8Vh4isxlj9xZV8QkzMKTezMLMxPDKTlFLzF~ADHsYQ3a~IqJPUQYvflsodymtG6xEWRvpRQB9wyfT0GJbyynZrhni37XkXThQ1AHSozSxk1SGJgowaLiBqQXuKdRRah1XXFpJw~EAN8eCzwcpOA45ZtbLVd4-GrFqSHFFv3o8HB~GWj-f7P2jPI~rWw9ZRyxJv3Lm6342bCGspy9bBg942nirgb8pEzkOotJqGGPTQY5E-I7KHGNNbzZUE1guYkiayYMHyADrLswjlGpG1FuupwOJpQ5tYEHpz6FcPEQzsQEaoDT9rvX~ug9djFFxGEvcU7oZxHf-6DesiKGA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Senate Bill 152, concerning requirements for health care practitioner identification, was adopted by the Colorado Senate March 26, 2025, following committee amendments that narrowed the bill’s scope and added practical exceptions for emergencies.

Senator Frizzell moved the Health and Human Services Committee report and offered floor amendments that removed a requirement that license or certificate information appear on a practitioner name tag and instead required a practitioner to verbally communicate their state-issued license, certificate, or registration at the first contact with a patient. The amendment added the phrase that the verbal identification is required “unless emergent circumstances make it impracticable.”

Senator Bridal described the bill as prompted by concerns from the Colorado Medical Society and said the change responds to the variety of clinician types patients encounter in hospitals, urgent cares and emergency departments. Bridal said the measure is about patient transparency and helping patients understand credentials for clinicians they do not already know.

The Senate adopted the committee report and the amendment on the floor and then passed SB 152. The committee reported the bill unanimously out of committee; the floor recorded adoption of the committee report and subsequent passage. No floor vote tally for final passage was printed in the transcript of the floor debate excerpt, though the clerk recorded adoption on the day’s journal and procedure noted further steps for engrossment.","Senate Bill 152, which requires healthcare practitioners in hospitals and certain emergency settings to verbally state their state-issued credential at first contact (with exceptions for emergent care), was adopted after committee amendments and floor discussion.",{"_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},6107136,"Senate passes companion bill on 340B supply-chain practices after mixed floor debate",728,3343000,4071000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2778499-7040d05072ca7e1677c01a0040ed2474&start=3343&end=4071","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2778499-7040d05072ca7e1677c01a0040ed2474/thumbnail_3343000.jpg","/articles/6107136/Colorado/Senate-passes-companion-bill-on-340B-supply-chain-practices-after-mixed-floor-debate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6107136-336f9cc951e22b9657253965ed3c613f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770935751&Signature=ZdnbuiAFtwAqizz8ZmUfswfcEbs0g2FGaX3KNl5LOvA5BswLitcQawTBTLgNY68va25iH64tkRcWXHq6HtVjLD~0A86HgDlfA2rhwvpDW1G26X2C-d0JTvTcDYlKoeKyZ-rq7A-4t5iHuM4lTOr8q2iffHO2glIiBIk0Vh7Yl39i-GGA-CseZA0WbpvXmwEKuYzvalXbn37ydn8KS3WKCR0T85Ki9ks96FwLVjCDPTbbOb~H0tZsvYQB~JB8IA0R-xWraAsPKA1IWqV1ZRPg4EYS5autDMAi16CyIH-GCt5xdT0byz2Nyhyq-yc5yr46RFh4e01jzBKJQpe1hEFYsw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Senate Bill 71, which targets certain practices by participants in the supply chain for drugs purchased under the federal 340B program, passed the Colorado Senate March 26, 2025, after floor debate and the reading of a stakeholder letter opposing the measure.

Senator Michaelson Janae, a sponsor, moved SB 71 for final passage. Supporters described the bill as a transparency and accountability measure that would help ensure savings or community benefits tied to 340B support local care. Senator Rich and other backers thanked stakeholders and staff for months of work on the legislation.

Opposition remarks on the floor included a reading by Senator Gonzales of a letter from Servicio de la Raza, which stated strong opposition to Senate Bill 71 and expressed concern that the measure, as written, could perpetuate harms to marginalized communities by allowing hospitals or systems to retain savings instead of ensuring equitable distribution. The letter referenced investigations and reports by the U.S. Government Accountability Office and the Office of Inspector General that documented problematic uses of 340B savings in some cases.

Senator Rich also recounted concerns from rural hospitals that could be affected, noting potential job losses and facility impacts if certain entities were not covered by exemptions. At least one senator who spoke in support said she would vote for both SB 71 and related measures, though she urged further work to address limits on the number of covered contract pharmacies.

On final passage the Senate recorded a vote of 30 ayes, 4 no, 0 absent and 1 excused and the bill was passed. Sponsors and cosponsors were entered on the record; the Senate will proceed with enrollment and transmittal steps required by legislative process.","Senate Bill 71, a companion measure addressing practices by participants in the 340B drug supply chain, passed the Senate after floor debate and stakeholder letters were read into the record.

The bill’s sponsor, Senator Gonzales, moved SB 124 for final passage. Proponents said the bill's reporting requirements are intended to increase transparency about how hospitals use 340B savings and to ensure dollars support patient care and community health programs.

Senator Malika, speaking in opposition, urged colleagues to vote no and warned that SB 124 could produce unintended consequences for patient care. “These patients are going to not get the care they need. They're going to delay the care, actually,” Malika said, arguing that limits or new requirements could drive litigation and reduce hospitals’ ability to provide charity or specialty services in parts of the state that already face care shortages.

Senator Michaelson Janae also opposed the bill, saying it would “severely restrict the 340B program” and threaten roughly $700,000,000 that currently supports charity care and specialty treatments. Michaelson Janae said the bill would create infeasible reporting requirements for hospitals (noting hospitals lack 340B data disaggregated by payer) and could push contract pharmacies out of the program, reducing access for patients who rely on local pharmacies.

Supporters countered that transparency is necessary to ensure savings go back into patient care rather than to unrelated administrative uses. Debate also referenced previous committee work and related legislation; sponsors said some transparency provisions had been incorporated into a companion bill, Senate Bill 71.

After roll call, the Senate recorded 20 ayes, 14 no, 0 abstain and 1 excused and the bill was declared passed. The transcript shows named senators among the recorded no votes. The measure will proceed per legislative process for enrollment and final actions required before becoming law.
