Bill > HB1073

This bill establishes a new statutory limit on the number of bills that members of the Colorado General Assembly can introduce during a regular legislative session, reducing the current limit from five to three bills. This new rule, which will take effect starting with the seventy-sixth General Assembly, excludes bills related to appropriations (spending) and bills recommended by interim committees that are created by statute, executive committee resolution, or pursuant to a specific statute (2-3-303.3). Additionally, legislative committees created in Article 3 of Title 2 and committees of reference performing duties under sections 24-1-136 and 24-34-104 can recommend additional bills that are exempt from this three-bill limit. The bill also allows for exceptions to the three-bill limit if at least two leaders in either the Senate or the House of Representatives (such as the President, Majority Leader, or Minority Leader) agree that an additional bill is requested by a legislative committee, addresses an emergency matter needing immediate attention before the next session, or corrects a technical or clerical error in a bill already passed in the current session.
