We’re seeing a lot of action at the Capitol these days, as legislators present their final bills while we collectively prepare to work on what’s known as the Long Bill, Colorado’s budget.
To review how legislation is passed: We present a House bill in front of a committee, hear public testimony and, sometimes, accept a few amendments. If the bill passes, it may be sent to a second committee. Then the bill is brought to the House floor for debate after a “second reading,” when every legislator can hear about the legislation. A voice vote is taken there. Finally, the bill is brought to “third reading” for a recorded vote. If it passes, it is sent to the Senate, where the process starts again.
