The Colorado House of Representatives on third reading adopted House Bill 11‑24, updating universal contracting provisions for behavioral‑health safety‑net services, and House Bill 10‑59, a measure to reduce food waste in schools. Both bills were passed by recorded machine votes during the chamber’s session today; another bill, House Bill 10‑43, was laid over until tomorrow and the balance of the third‑reading calendar was postponed to Thursday, Feb. 20, 2025.
House Bill 11‑24, introduced by Representative Wright with Senator Michaelson Genet listed as a sponsor in the title, was moved on third reading by the majority leader. “I move House Bill 11 24 on third reading and final passage,” the majority leader said on the floor. The clerk closed the machine and announced the result: “With 41 I, 22 no and 2 excused House Bill 11 24 is adopted.” The transcript does not show substantive debate on the floor recorded in this segment prior to the vote.
House Bill 10‑59, listed in the title as sponsored by Representatives Weinberg and Ferre with Senators Rich and Marchman as sponsors, was likewise moved on third reading by the majority leader. The motion was carried by machine vote; the clerk announced, “With 60 I, 3 no, and 2 excused, House Bill 10 59 is adopted.” The transcript shows named roll votes for some members (Representative Luck voted no in both recorded instances; Representative Lindsey voted yes when called). No further floor debate on the measure appears in the provided segment.
Separately, House Bill 10‑43 was the subject of procedural action. A member asked to lay the bill over “to the end of the third reading calendar,” and later the chamber agreed to lay House Bill 10‑43 over until tomorrow. The day’s proceedings also included a motion to lay the balance of the calendar over until Thursday, Feb. 20, 2025, which the House approved by unanimous consent.
The session record for this segment consists primarily of roll call, title readings, motions to move bills on third reading, machine votes, and procedural calendar actions. Several committee meeting times and member announcements were given following the votes, and the House recessed until later in the day.
