Noonan: No shortage of 2017 General Assembly bill quantity, but what about quality?
The Colorado Senate crossed the 300 bill mark for the first time in quite a few years. The House, with more members than the Senate, will probably get to about 380 bills.
Stick in the eye
HB17-1328 requires certain federal candidates to disclose their income tax returns to get on the Colorado ballot. The bill passed the House and is assigned to the Senate State, Veterans, and Military Affairs Committee.
Good idea
SB17-243 continues the motorcycle operator safety training program, scheduled to end in July, for three years. In 2015, a bill ran to end motorcycle rider training. The bill transfers the program to the State Patrol. The bill passed the Senate and got through committee hearings in the House.
Do you know what it is?
Will data drive behavior?
About time
HB17-1150, No bail for stalking and domestic violence offenders, prevents individuals convicted of stalking and domestic violence from getting bail while waiting for sentencing or appeals. The bill passed both chambers.
Lucky them
HB17-1104, Exclude Olympic medal income from taxable income, allows Olympic winners to exclude from their state income tax the cash value of their medal and any cash award given by the U.S. Olympics committee and other such sporting organizations. It excludes endorsements and non-monetary benefits.
Try one more time
Who can resist it?
HB17-1012, the Pueblo chile vehicle license plate, a must have for all Coloradans.
