HCR 22-1004

House Concurrent Resolution 22-1004 aims to remove a requirement from Colorado's constitution that the insurance commissioner must be appointed by the governor with approval from the state senate. If this resolution passes and is ratified by voters, future insurance commissioners could be chosen differently, potentially through an election or another method determined by lawmakers. The bill has been signed into law but will need voter approval in a future ballot measure to actually change the constitution. This affects how the insurance commissioner position is filled in Colorado going forward.
