The 2025 General Assembly session will wrap up no later than midnight on Wednesday, with 657 bills introduced as of last Friday. If no more bills are introduced on Monday, the last day a bill can be introduced, that will leave the 2025 session with 48 fewer bills than in 2024.

As of Monday, the House and Senate had 128 bills left on their calendars, with exactly 64 bills left in each chamber.

As of Monday’s start, 29 bills in the House were still awaiting committee hearings, and 16 in the Senate were awaiting committee action.

That’s the first sign of bills that might not make it to the final day. Of those 29 bills in the House, 20 are House bills. In the Senate, six of the 16 are Senate measures. That leaves just the bare minimum amount of time for those measures to get to the finish line by Wednesday.

The governor has signed 186 bills; another 64 are awaiting his decisions.

Some of the biggest issues still awaiting final decisions in the final days of the 2025 session include:

• Senate Bill 5, the bill to remove the second election for unions, won preliminary approval from the House Monday and heads to a final vote as soon as Tuesday. The governor has threatened to veto a bill that did not bring forth a compromise between business and labor, and that compromise never happened. The bill sponsors decided to move the bill ahead, which was considered a challenge to the governor.
• House Bill 1312, likely to be the biggest of the remaining bills in the session, is a transgender bill of rights. Republicans have vowed to do everything in their power to kill the bill. It is expected to come up for second reading in the Senate Monday afternoon.
• House Bill 1291 would put more teeth into the regulation of ride-share companies, although one of those companies, Lyft, has threatened to pull out of the Colorado market should the bill pass. Lyft is being sued by a state lawmaker who was allegedly sexually assaulted by a driver who was borrowing a Lyft driver account and did not have authority under the rideshare platform. HB 1291 would prohibit account sharing, require more frequent criminal background checks on drivers, and require audio/video monitoring of ride shares.
