MODERATE

This bill is a recognition resolution declaring February 2025 as Black History Month in Colorado. The primary change is the addition of a new header section at the top identifying the First Regular Session of the Seventy-fifth General Assembly and listing all sponsoring legislators from both the House and Senate. The substantive content of the resolution itself remains unchanged, with the same historical context and recognition of Black contributions to Colorado's history.
