About this source
The Colorado General Assembly publishes every bill, amendment, fiscal note, and committee report introduced during the legislative session through this feed. Around 140 entries a month while the legislature is in session, covering education, healthcare, workforce, environment, criminal justice, and tax. Colorado is one of the fastest-moving states for cannabis, healthcare reform, and worker protection legislation, so what gets introduced here often previews what other states will copy a year or two later. Watch this if you lobby in Colorado, advise multistate clients on regulatory creep, or track interstate trends in any of those areas.
