Senate Judiciary Committee, 1:30 p.m. SCR 352

Senate Bill 014, to require the Dept. of Corrections (DOC) to disclose the location of out-of-state inmates. This relates back to James Holmes, the Aurora Theater shooter, who was moved to a Pennsylvania prison early in 2017. DOC refused for two months to disclose his location.

Tuesday

Wednesday

House Finance Committee, Upon adjournment, LSB-A

House Bill 1035, to increase the state’s general fund reserve, sponsored by beleaguered state Rep. Steve Lebsock of Thornton; it will be interesting to see if any of his bills in this session survive committee hearings. Lebsock’s bills don’t yet have Senate sponsors, one sign that these measures may face an uphill struggle.

House State Veterans and Military Affairs Committee, 1:30 p.m. LSB-A

House Bill 1030, Republicans’ annual attempt to prohibit mandatory union membership in union-controlled shops

House Bill 1106, which would allow employers to negotiate wages with employees, an effort to waive the state’s minimum wage law.

House Transportation & Energy Committee, 1:30 p.m. HCR 0112

House Bill 1018, to require commercial trucking schools to educate drivers on how to spot human trafficking.

Senate State Veterans & Military Affairs Committee, 1:30 p.m. SCR 352

Senate Bill 049, on prohibiting the use of cellphones while driving. This extends the current prohibition, which applies only to drivers under the age of 18, to all drivers. Its assignment to the kill committee is not a positive. However, its its sponsor, Democratic Sen. Lois Court of Denver, was able to get the 2017 bill out of the same committee, so its demise is not a given.

Thursday

House Judiciary Committee, 1:30 p.m. HCR 0112

House Bill 1041, adding the crime of cruelty to a police horse to the same category that currently includes service animals and police dogs.

Senate Education Committee, 1:30 p.m. SCR 352
