COLORADO LEGISLATURE 28 FEB 2022

About 415 bills have been introduced so far so we are over half-way through the expected total already.  Many Colorado laws have sunset dates established.  About a dozen of these bills continue the laws with a new future sunset date.  And you thought the Legislature would let their power wane?
