SB 25-243: Revert Appropriated General Fund Money From Colorado Department of Labor & Employment - Colorado

Rerevised (04/10/2025) → Revised (04/09/2025) · 3 edits

MINOR

The bill text was updated from a 'Rerevised' version to a 'Revised' version, indicating it has been amended on second reading in the Second House. The sponsorship list for the House was shortened by removing three co-sponsors (Keltie, Taggart, and Sirota), while the Senate sponsors remain unchanged. This reflects procedural progress in the legislative process rather than substantive policy changes.

TECHNICAL

The bill header was updated from 'REREVISED' to 'REVISED' to reflect that amendments were adopted on second reading in the Second House.

Three House co-sponsors (Keltie, Taggart, and Sirota) were removed from the House sponsorship list, likely due to changes in legislative support or procedural adjustments.

The '3rd Reading Unamended' stamp and date (April 10, 2025) were removed from the document header, indicating the bill has moved past that procedural stage.
