The House of Representatives convened Tuesday in Denver with a quorum of 53 present, 11 excused and one vacancy and approved the journal of Monday, Jan. 13, 2025, as corrected by the chief clerk.
Representative Barone moved to approve the journal “as corrected by the chief clerk,” and the motion was adopted after members voted verbally. The House then laid over House Joint Resolution 25‑1003 until Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2025, by unanimous consent and recessed until later in the day.
Why it matters: the actions were procedural but set the schedule for committee business that members said would occur upon adjournment, including budget and policy briefings and multiple committee hearings.
House business and announcements: Representative Bird told members that the Joint Budget Committee would visit the Judiciary Committee upon adjournment to run through the governor’s budget request and to accept comments and questions. The visit was slated for the Supreme Court chamber next door, with the calendar listing the exact location.
Representative Brown announced that the House Health and Human Services Committee would meet about 10 minutes after adjournment to hear four bills: 1022, 1063, 1033 and 1016. Representative Mabry said the Judiciary Committee would meet after adjournment for a SMART Act hearing and listed scheduled participants as the Office of the Child’s Representatives, child protections ombudsmen, the Parole Board and the Department of Corrections.
Other items announced: Representative Lukens will replace Representative English on the Health and Human Services Committee for today only. Representative Titone announced a Joint Technology Committee meeting the following morning to discuss an update to health care policy and finance and a state department briefing. Representative Stewart promoted a legislative reception hosted by Building Jobs for Colorado; another announcement shared an evening event hosted by 1 Colorado at a downtown Colfax venue.
Administrative notices from the majority leader’s office asked members to complete mileage and per diem certification sheets and referenced forms distributed that morning. The House then recessed by unanimous consent.
