The Colorado Senate is set to debate the state’s proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year, which includes over $1 billion in cuts to balance the budget under the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights growth cap. Lawmakers anticipate a lengthy debate on state priorities as they work towards passing the bill.
In addition to budget discussions, the legislature will also address single-payer health care with a bill requiring analysis of a universal health care system. There is bipartisan interest in regulating access to websites with explicit content and social media use by minors, with bills slated for debate this week.
Lawmakers are also seeking public input on these and other bills during committee hearings, providing an opportunity for stakeholders to weigh in on proposed legislation.
