Colorado’s income tax rate could get cut in years that the state’s revenue exceeds a constitutional limit under a bipartisan bill lawmakers are considering during the last week of the state legislative session.

The Colorado House of Representatives passed three firearm-related bills over the weekend, including what would be a first-in-the-nation requirement for gun owners to carry liability insurance.

The Colorado House of Representatives approved the state’s $40.6 billion budget and its accompanying bills on Monday, approaching the end of the constitutionally-required, months-long process to craft a balanced spending plan.

A bill that would substantially rework Colorado’s concealed carry permit training made it through its first committee hearing Tuesday.

A Colorado bill would ban firearms from 19 locations defined as “sensitive” spaces.

Students in Colorado would be expressly allowed to carry drug overdose reversal medication on campus and at school activities under a bill working its way through the Legislature, a policy that advocates say is a reasonable application of harm reduction thinking.

Owners of single-family homes would be allowed to build accessory dwelling units on their property under a recently introduced bill.

Colorado voters across party lines say they support the policies that state lawmakers are prioritizing this session when it comes to increasing the state’s housing supply.
