Rep. Jenny Willford's experience led her to push for both increased safety measures by rideshare companies and faster testing times at the state’s DNA labs.

Democrats at the Capitol defied Gov. Jared Polis and took steps to push back against the Trump administration. A big slate of gun bills passed. Lawmakers tried to clear hurdles halting sex assault investigations.

Legislators failed to make revisions or to come up with a plan to keep a first-in-the-nation AI law that's been derided by tech companies from taking effect early next year.

Senate Bill 5 would abolish a requirement in the Colorado Labor Peace Act that 75% of workers at a company sign off before unions can negotiate with businesses over union security. That’s after a majority of workers vote to unionize.

The Colorado Capitol News Alliance pored through the more than 600 measures debated at the Capitol this year to highlight the most notable ones that passed and failed.

The measure, House Bill 1169, would have overridden local zoning laws, escalating a long-running dispute between the state and local governments over housing policy. It was a priority of Gov. Jared Polis.

House Bill 1302 would have imposed a 1% fee on every policy for grants to hail-proof roofs and an effort to limit insurers' risk. But homeowners would have borne the cost, which is why the measure died.

Senate Bill 318 was tabled after consensus on the tweaks couldn’t be reached among the tech industry, consumer advocates and lawmakers. Colorado’s controversial AI law goes into effect Feb. 1, but a special session may be in the works.

The governor has said he opposes any effort to repeal a requirement that workers get to vote on whether they should be forced to pay fees for collective bargaining representation — whether or not they are members of their workplace’s union. Now Democrats will test whether he'll follow through with a veto.

The Colorado House passed a bill that would further limit local cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, and other immigration authorities. It’s now one step away from the governor’s desk.
