The Colorado State Senate handled a series of procedural motions and chamber recognitions during a routine floor session.
After roll call established a quorum (30 present, 0 absent, 5 excused), a senator moved that the Senate journal of March 2026 be approved "as corrected by the secretary." The presiding officer declared, "The ayes have it," and the motion was adopted by voice vote.
The clerk read the title of Senate Resolution 004 (sponsored by Senators Judah and Bridges) concerning recognition of October 26 as Conflict Resolution Month. The majority leader moved to lay SR004 over until Friday, 03/06/2026; the motion carried by voice vote. The majority leader also moved to lay over the general order second‑reading bills calendar until Thursday, 03/05/2026; that motion likewise passed by voice vote.
Chamber recognitions and announcements followed: the President Pro Tem welcomed a political science class from Front Range Community College; the chamber extended a tribute to First Tee Colorado Rocky Mountains (naming President Paula Purifoy and Zach McCain); Senator Exum introduced Faith Miller, Miss Southern Colorado, and described her volunteer service; and Senator Roberts recognized Habitat for Humanity of Colorado and noted its statewide work and recent Prop 123 funding partnership.
Finally, the majority leader moved that the Senate recess until 11:00 a.m.; the motion passed by voice vote and the Senate recessed.
Next steps: SR004 will be considered after the layover date noted on the calendar; referred bills will appear on the dates set by calendar action.
