Cutter said the USDA \"nixed more than $1,000,000,000 from two programs\" nationally — naming the Local Food Purchase Assistance program and the Local Food for Schools program — and said that $660,000,000 of that amount supported schoolchildren. Cutter stated that the cuts would remove more than $13,000,000 in USDA funding that Colorado food banks and schools rely on to purchase locally grown produce. He said the cuts would \"hurt farmers, undermine food security, and drive up costs,\" and referenced Governor Polis's comments that the cuts would have those effects.

The senator noted rising food insecurity in recent years amid inflation and the expiration of pandemic-era benefit expansions, and cited a Colorado Health Institute estimate that \"more than 1 in 10 Coloradans lack reliable access to nutritious food.\" His remarks were delivered as a personal-privilege statement on the Senate floor; they were not part of a bill debate or accompanied by a floor motion.

No formal action or floor motion related to the USDA programs was taken during the session portion recorded in the transcript; the remarks were recorded as a statement to the body and did not trigger committee referral or legislative action in this excerpt.

John Fisher of Golden was reappointed and Andrew Worth of Manhattan, Montana, was appointed; the clerk announced confirmation by a recorded vote of 34 ayes, 0 no, 0 absent with one excused.

Majority Leader Rodriguez moved confirmation of the appointments listed on the governor's appointment consent calendar. The clerk announced the vote as 34–0 with one senator excused and those appointments were recorded as confirmed on the floor.

Earlier in the session the Senate Finance Committee reported that it had heard appointments and recommended placing certain nominations on the consent calendar for confirmation. The finance committee recommended the appointment of Jennifer Payne of Arvada to the Colorado Banking Board (term expiring July 1, 2025) to replace David Kelly of Littleton; the committee also reported appointments to the Colorado Racing Commission — John Hams of Holly and Jonathan Horowitz of Parker — each to serve terms beginning July 2, 2024 and expiring July 1, 2028. The committee recommended these appointments be placed on the consent calendar for confirmation.

The floor transcript records the finance committee's recommendation and the subsequent confirmation of the CSU board appointees; it does not record the final chamber confirmation vote explicitly for the banking board or racing commission nominees during this session excerpt, only the committee recommendation that they be placed on the consent calendar and confirmed.

The adoption was taken by voice vote with no recorded opposition during the floor proceeding.

Majority Leader Rodriguez moved the passage of all bills on the general-order second-reading consent calendar. The presiding chair called for discussion; seeing none, the clerk announced \"the ayes have it\" and the bills were adopted by the Senate on second reading.

Later in the session the committee of the whole reported to the Senate that House Bills 12-10, 12-98 and 11-16 had \"passed on second reading and ordered revised and placed on the calendar for third reading and final passage.\" That committee report was adopted on a recorded vote noted in the transcript as 34 ayes, 0 no, 0 absent when excused.

No floor debate or individual amendments were recorded during second-reading consideration under the consent calendar; the measures now await third reading and final passage on the Senate floor.
