More than 210 bills have been signed since the 2025 session started in January. In a session pockmarked with budget shortfalls and protests, Colorado lawmakers still managed to pass a few important bills this year.
One bill reduces the state-paid portion of assistant district attorney salaries at each judicial district from 50% to 25%. Another bill passed this session seeks to address the delays in DNA evidence and sexual assault kit testing. The bill would require the Colorado Bureau of Investigation to spend specifically appropriated money on backlogged tests, and it would allow the CBI to contract with external labs to perform the testing. The bill also called for CBI to create a dashboard on the Department of Public Safety’s website to update the public on the backlog.
