HJR 25-1016 Colorado House · 2025 Regular Session

Persian Gulf War Service Members

HJR 25-1016 is a Colorado legislative resolution honoring veterans who served in the Persian Gulf War (1990-1991), including three Coloradans who died in combat. It formally acknowledges their service, honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice, expresses gratitude to families of fallen service members, and encourages all Coloradans to remember their sacrifices. The resolution does not create new laws or policies but serves as a symbolic recognition through the Colorado General Assembly. It was passed unanimously by both chambers of the state legislature in early 2025.

MINOR

The bill underwent significant formatting and structural reorganization, transitioning from a standard House Joint Resolution format to a revised version with detailed legislative markup. The substantive policy content regarding recognition of Persian Gulf War veterans remains unchanged, with no modifications to eligibility criteria, funding, or enforcement mechanisms.

TECHNICAL

Header information was updated to include session details (First Regular Session, Seventy-fifth General Assembly) and revision metadata (LLS number, sponsor names, dates, and reading status).

Formatting was restructured to separate House and Senate committee lists, and to incorporate legislative markup symbols (shading, underlining, dashes) to indicate amendments.

Line numbering and page references were reorganized to align with standard legislative markup conventions, though the actual resolution text content remained identical.
