DENVER — The Colorado Senate on Feb. 21, 2025, confirmed a governor's appointment to the Colorado Lottery Commission and laid over Senate Bill 24 concerning judicial officers until Feb. 25, 2025.
The clerk read an appointment listed on the consent calendar as "Christian Reese of Grand Junction, Colorado to serve as a representative of the public appointee," for the Colorado Lottery Commission with a term shown as effective 07/02/2024 and expiring 07/01/2028. A senator moved to confirm the appointments on the consent calendar; the chair announced the confirmation with the recorded vote on the consent calendar as "30 ayes, 0 no, 0 absent, 4 excused, and 1 vacant." The appointment was confirmed.
The floor record contains an inconsistent later reference to the appointee as "Kristen Reiss." The clerk's reading of the appointment name and the subsequent confirmation vote are on the public record; the transcript shows both spellings in the same sequence of proceedings.
Separately, the majority leader moved to lay over Senate Bill 24, "concerning judicial officers," until Feb. 25, 2025. The motion to lay over was agreed to by voice vote; the chair announced, "SB 25 0 2 4 is laid over until February 25." The committee later reported SB 24 was laid over and is retaining its place on the calendar.
The Senate also signed a series of previously passed bills and took routine procedural actions at the close of the session.
