HM 1001 Colorado House · 2026 Regular Session

Memorialize Former Representative Dan Williams

This House Memorial (HM 1001) is a formal tribute passed by the Colorado General Assembly honoring former State Representative Dan Williams, who died in October 2025. It recognizes his 1984-1992 service in the Colorado House, his leadership as chair of key committees (including Agriculture and Transportation), and his lifelong advocacy for Colorado ranching and farming communities. The resolution expresses the legislature's condolences to his family and sends copies of the memorial to his partner and children. It has no policy impact, as it is purely a commemorative gesture with no new laws or funding.
