House committees complete, ready for business
House Republicans released their committee assignments Friday evening, completing the picture of Colorado’s legislative committees.
House Speaker-designate Crisanta of Duran made several changes to the committee structure, exercising the privilege that accompanies the Democrats’ 37-28 majority.
Duran expanded majorities on the Appropriations, Judiciary, Transportation and Energy and State, Veterans and Military Affairs committees.
Further, the Education, Finance and Local Government committees will have 13 members instead of 11. The Health, Insurance and Environment Committee will have 11 members instead of 13.
