COLORADO LEGISLATURE 2023 24 APRIL 2023

 

Twenty five new bills dropped this week.  Of the 13 introduced in the House, 10 were introduced after the deadline.  In the Senate only 3 of the 12 were late.  I have copied the entry from the schedule:

BILL REQUESTS AND GENERAL SESSION DEADLINE FOR:

April 18 (Tuesday) Introducing bills. 100th Day

 

 

SB23-285   Energy And Carbon Management Regulation In Colorado

         Forty nine more pages of regulation, mostly on geothermal projects.

SB23-288   Coverage For Doula Services

          Any body know what ‘douha’ is?  And why the taxpayer has to pay for it?

SB23-290   Natural Medicine Regulation And Legalization

Setting up the regulatory process as a result of the ‘mushroom bill’ last year

SB23-291   Utility Regulation

          Just one example of how bad this bill is”

‘Section 3 prohibits an investor-owned electric or gas utility from recovering various costs from its customers, including:’     

SB23-292   Labor Requirements For Energy Sector Construction

          A big gift to the labor unions.

SB23-295   Colorado River Drought Task Force

          The purpose seems laudable but some of the provisions are questionable.

 

That’s it for now.  Allergy season is upon me and I am out of energy.  I will deal with the House bills in a few days.
