HCR 22-1002
signedEliminate Requirement That Bills Be Read At Length
Plain-English Summary
AI-generatedHouse Concurrent Resolution 22-1002 aims to change Colorado’s constitution by removing the requirement that all bills must be read in full on two separate days in each chamber of the state legislature. Instead, it would allow legislators to skip this step if everyone present agrees unanimously. If voters approve this resolution in the general election, bills could then be passed more quickly without needing those full readings. The bill has been signed and is currently being reviewed by a committee focused on state affairs.
Official Summary
The Colorado constitution requires each bill being considered by the general assembly to be read at length on 2 different days in each chamber of the general assembly, but allows any reading at length otherwise required to be dispensed with upon unanimous consent of the legislators present. If approved by a majority of the voters of the state voting on it at the 2022 general election, the concurrent resolution will eliminate the requirement that bills be read at length on 2 different days in each chamber of the general assembly.
