We are over halfway through the 2025 Colorado Legislative Session. This session has been unique, with the state’s budget deficit at over a billion dollars and the Joint Budget Committee working on making cuts wherever possible. This unique session has also seen legislation focused on environmental issues, labor issues, and other items.

CLA’s Legislative Affairs Committee has met every other Friday during the session hearing from legislative guests, discussing the legislative session, and taking positions on bills of interest.

Thank you to Senator Byron Pelton, Representative Barbara Kirkmeyer, and Representative Katie Stewart for being guests on the Legislative Affairs Committee meetings throughout the last couple of weeks.

CLA will continue to be a voice at the Capitol on bills that could affect our members’ ability to do business.
