Votes at a glance: Senate adopts several bills on consent calendar; one firearms bill laid over
The Colorado Senate approved multiple committee reports and advanced several bills on Feb. 7, 2025, mostly via the consent calendar and Committee of the Whole report. Majority Leader Regina Rodriguez moved the adoption of the consent calendar and the associated committee reports; the motion carried on the floor by voice vote.

Bills listed on the special-order consent calendar and advanced included Senate Bill 60 (amending the crime of obstructing government operations to address repeated calls to emergency public-safety entities without justifiable cause), Senate Bill 82 (enacting the Colorado Revised Statutes 2024 as the positive and statutory law of the state), House Bill 1076 (concerning documents related to the Division of Motor Vehicles), and House Bill 1054 (repealing a requirement that the legislative audit committee conduct performance reviews of the automobile inspection and readjustment program every five years). The clerk read the titles of those bills into the record prior to the motion to adopt.

Senate Bill 59 (measures to support state response to mass shootings) was handled separately on the floor and is advanced to third reading; Senate Bill 3 (concerning prohibited activity involving semi-automatic firearms) was laid over to Feb. 13, 2025 and retains its place on the calendar.

The Committee of the Whole reported that Senate Bill 82 passed on second reading and was ordered engrossed and placed on the calendar for third reading and final passage; House Bills 1076 and 1054 were referred to and ordered for third reading and final passage. The Committee of the Whole report was adopted by recorded vote: 21 ayes, 10 noes, 0 absent, and 4 excused.

The committee on state veterans and military affairs reported appointments to the Fire and Police Pension Association board of directors recommending placement on the consent calendar and confirmation: John Holler of Littleton (reappointed to represent full-time paid police officers) and Caleb Sevian of Boulder (appointed to represent the financial community). The committee recommended several bills be referred to appropriations with favorable recommendation and recommended postponement of others; those committee-level recommendations were read into the record.

Most consent-calendar items were adopted without floor debate as recorded in the transcript excerpt. The transcript does not contain final-enactment votes for bills ordered to third reading in this excerpt; next steps are third reading and a final passage vote for those measures.
