approved as corrected by the chief clerk remember she has a lot of control over our state budget i just want to say you have heard the motion all we're going to start off with the little treat this morning and representative wilson is going to tell us about it we are privileged today in the chamber to help kick off that celebration a cowboy poet who happens to have a bigger mustache than representative will floyd beard is right up here he a friend of mine he's a former superintendent in the state of colorado he was also a boces administrator so he comes to us from out on the eastern plains and he's going to share a little bit of cowboy poetry with us just honor national cowboy poetry week starting next week take it away floyd thank you thank you for having me here this morning it's an honor and on behalf of national cowboy poetry week i'd like to bring you that i wrote about southeast colorado that was selected as the best western poem by the american western writers of america for two thousand  and it talks about just writing out making a circle checking cows one morning so with that ain't a hermit well now i ain't no real recluse hermit ain't my real excuse but neighbors they are sparse where i come from or alphen sit and talk a spell but a poet said it well i like folks best when they're scattered some so let my story now unwind build a picture in your mind of a canyon land that's rugged vast and free we're broken canyons braids for miles mountain peaks stack up in piles a torn in arid range is what you'll see there i and yawn and i ride out on the dawn where the prairies melt into the canyons deep i find a bunch of cattle there in the cool crisp morning air on grandma grass around the canyon milotic spurs steel shoes on rock softly sing out as we walked neath sandstone cliffs that beetle way up high the prickly pear in full bloom where the up from the sun i sit and lean against the tree pony hobbled raisin free my canyon cafe charm is next to none then i catch my pony and since my kak and settled down upon his back our circle still has lots of miles to go round the bend i stop and see a big merely watching me he bounces off making quite a show to rocks and brush on trails so then cross the mace i ride out salt water on my route the grass is green the mills pumping free sure we could use a soaking rain but you won't hear m complain with grass and water i'll just let her be a large crevasse defines the trail down through boulders brush and shale we wind our way back to the canyon floor i rain my pony toward home turning loose my thoughts to rome or canyon coves and canyon coves of rest storm clouds build high or canyon brow so we hit a long trot now to hustle to the barn shore might be best back on my ranch house porch i stand cup of coffee in my hand lost in thoughts and thunder from above my colleague towers neath my feet rain wash breezes smell so sweet revival to the country that we love well like i said back at the start i ain't a hermit in my heart though i live out where the land is vast and free i love my friends in all their ways but i'm most at home those days in the saddle just my pony dog and me ain't a hermit thank you very much i hear that mister beard might have another short two minute poem to share do you want to okay members one more well this one i bring to you is a classic i don't know if i'm still on here yep okay this one i bring to you as a classic first came out in one thousand eight hundred and ninety nine and written by james adams it's called bill's in i got a letter parson from my son way out west and mild hearts as heavy as an anvil in my breasts to think the boy whose future i once so proudly planned would wander from the path of right and come to such an end i warned him when he left his home not three short years ago he'd find himself a plowin in a mighty crooked row he'd missed his father's counsel and his mother's prayers too but he said the farm was hateful and he guessed he'd have to go and i know there's temptations for a youngster in the west but i believed our billy had the courage to resist i warned him when he left of the ever present snares that lie like hidden serpents along life's pathway ever wears but bill he promised faithful he'd be careful and loud he'd build a reputation that make us mighty proud but it seems as how my counsel sort of faded from his mind and now the boys in trouble of the very worst kind well his letters came so seldom i somehow sort of note billy was a trampling down a mighty rocky road but i never once to imagine he'd bow my head and shame nor in the dust he'd waller his old daddy's honored name he writes for mountain denver and the story's mighty short i just can't tell his mother crusher poor old heart so i reckon parson you might break the news to her bills in the legislature but he doesn't say what fur gains adams thank you thank you for joining us today announcements and introductions representative gray thank you members this is a big day for me because the greatest man i've ever known is in the chamber today  father larry gray is back there in the corner and as a career thank you madam speaker

one hundred and seventy and twelve ninety four look forward to seeing you there thank you assistant majority leader kennedy thank you madam speaker members of sta here along with some of the ice girls

the balcony to help support the avalanche as they continue to to win and dominate the nhl playoffs we feel bad that representative van winkle the ultimate avalanche fan isn't here to join us but that's because he has his new baby boy that he is taking care of so i know he's watching us at home we have representative sullivan with his avalanche jersey on as representative froelich we're showing our avalanche spirit so if we could give the avalanche a round of applause and thank them for representing colorado well way to go abs thanks for joining us today morning and then after we're done with that we're going to go into third reading so it's just a little bit backwards so the the list of bills is up here but madam speaker i move that the following bills be made special we have to quiet in the chamber please thank you madam speaker thank you members please pay close attention to the order of bills so that you know when your bill is up and represented mikeam you know we did we just introduced bernie and we're really excited that he's here  order with your unanimous consent the bills will be read by title unless there is a request for reading a bill at length committee amendments will not be read unless requested as they are printed and in your bill folders floor amendments will be shown on the screen and not read and less requested bills will be laid over upon motion of the majority leader and the coat rule is relax funding i ask for an aye vote is there any further discussion on the appropriations committee report seeing none the question before us is the adoption of the committee report those in favor say aye opposed no the appropriations committee report passes representative harrod thank you madam chair the finance committee took out specific appropriation numbers to allow the college invest to fundraise the vote is there any further discussion on the finance committee report seeing none the question before us is the adoption of the finance committee report those in favor say aye aye opposed no the committee report passes to the bill representative the speaker has beaker becker thank you madam chair members this is a fantastic bill and thank you representative harriet for including me on this bill with you this bill simply creates the college kickstarter account program it will create a one hundred dollars kickstarter college savings account for every child born or adopted in colorado without using a dollar of general fund it's fully funded by gifts grants and donations members we know that college is becoming increasingly expensive and if you start saving for college early you are more likely to attend college i want to thank college and vest who will administer it but also raise money so that every kid in colorado will have a start from the day they're born to actually getting to college members each kid born in colorado between two thousand and twenty and and forty will have a college invest account opened for them with one hundred dollars to start them on the right path to get to college i ask for an aye vote representative harrod thank you madam chair and thank you madam speaker for joining the bill this is really important for all kids across colorado we know that there are not enough kids who are saving and families who are saving for college right now the college kick starter program will allow families to get started with that hundred dollars in that account they will also be able to keep the interest earned on that account which is hugely important not only does this help people get into college it helps them to start thinking about savings not just not just for college but also for retirement and other programs and so with that it's a very simple program with a simple solution legislature has created and reauthorized over the last couple of years the wage ease program as a means by which the department of corrections works with local community groups to reduce recidivism rates in this case two single digits it's been very effective the justice reinvest crime prevention initiative aka transforming safety is about small business lending and small grant making to target communities to increase economic opportunity and community safety and the who excuse me the crime survivors grants program involves grant making to assist non traditional victims of crime all of these bills have had bipartisan support in the last couple of years and sixty four allows them to continue in a more fiscally appropriate way i ask for your support mister about this thank you again madam chair so this bill is pretty simple it would require as counties or cities update their building codes that they adopt one of the three most recent energy codes  this is a great bill because it helps us to build better homes which are more energy efficient more comfortable and healthier for the families of colorado so with that i would urge an aye vote thank you madam chair this is not a new mandate th is updating a mandate that was passed in two thousand and seven for the energy codes to be updated to two thousand and three codes all this does is updated it to one of the most recent three and it makes things better and cheaper for our consumers so we think overall  bill is there any further discussion representative seine thank you madam chair i ask for a no vote it will not make it cheaper for many consumers which is why local governments have not uniformly adopted all these i asked for again  bill nineteen one hundred and eighty nine accommodate my passion for a sunset which is a five year sunset can i firmly believe that you all need to have those come up from time to time so you know what's been going on in prior legislators and i would like to i wouldn't like to i will give you an amendment for the education report representative cutter thank you madam chair is a honor to serve with you it is such an honor to serve with you this bill deals with concurrent enrollment advisory committee for the ascent program which is a fifth year high school program that allows students to participate in concurrent enrollment the year after th grade so all this bill does is provide for the continuation of that advisory board indefinitely bill folks this this is this is what i say maybe your feet are getting cold today because this could be this could be double hockey sticks freezing over but this is when a whole bunch of people get together and agree that what what is best for process what is best for patients what is best for us as a society is when we sit down and talk to each other this bill literally is the ability after a catastrophic medical procedure to sit down and have a conversation between patients and doctors and actually talk about some of the things that that went on and be able to have that conversation in an environment that stays out of discovery stays out of a lot of the the legal machinations and allows that that candid conversation to occur this is a remarkable bill that you will want to vote yes for today representative tipper thank you madam chair and just to add to that and everyone is on board recognizing that when you have an adverse incident in health the one thing that the patient wants more than anything is an opportunity to talk to the doctor and find out what happened so this allows that process it does not waive any other it doesn't waive any rights if you engage in this process and nothing comes of it if you talk and no settlement occurs and a party still wants to move forward litigation they can do that they've not lost anything so again this is one of those rare i think moments where we had unanimous agreement across the board political spectrums ideologies and really industry and we ask for your support thank you representative to a representative mckean you know i will add one thing and just from my own experience sometimes all you want is answers that's it so when we talk about settlement we talk about other things that that is that is an occasional circumstance but sometimes all you want to be able to do is say what happened this gives you that opportunity thank you representative mclaughlin thank you madam chair it's a pleasure to speak to work with you today and it is a pleasure to work with you look good up there by the way so keep it up yes i am happy to be doing this bill with tribes it clarifies that the tribal departments of human services and law enforcement agencies may conduct criminal history background checks of persons who will be taking a child in for emergency placements representative caitlin thank you madam chair it's an honor to serve with you and an honor to serve with you thank you this is an op excuse me i'm not feeling too hot today this is an opportunity for us to help speed the process when children from the tribes are needing to have someone take over and be there to be their guardian known to be their parent this allows tribes to check the fingerprints run them through the system and it will speed things up for the tribes and for those children for that reason i would ask for a yes vote thank you and agriculture committee report representative roberts thank you madam chair in the rural affairs and agriculture committee we added two amendments that make clear how the division of insurance can consult with these coops to help them get them off the ground and up and running eyes have it the committee report is bad representative mccluskey to the bill thank you madam chair senate bill zero four does what our federal government has not it gives us an opportunity to address the high rising health care costs in rural colorado as well as along the front range senate bill zero four will allow communities to come together create coops and find their own way in bringing down health insurance premiums for those on all of the different commercial markets particularly in the community where i live summit county we have had a tremendous community effort a coalition coming together to work large employer to large employer directly with providers in order to establish a co op that will significantly bring down health insurance rates these coops will allow for consumer protections like pre existing conditions and also help us negotiate in future years to keep those rates at their lowest level it allows individuals to band together with large and small group employers for purchasing power to negotiate those rates with that i urge an aye vote representative robert honored to be joined on this bill by representative mccluskey because her community in summit county really is leading the way and showing how these local coops can be a huge part in us lowering health care costs in colorado i come down to this well and have a lot of bills on this issue this is a key part to give communities and individuals the power themselves to negotiate directly with insurance providers to find a cheaper plan to do what works best for their community and get the type of coverage that affords them the security of health insurance coverage which is what we all want our constituents to have in the first place so this is a very good bill passed out of the senate thirty four to one passed out of rural affairs an agriculture unanimously let's give the power back to the consumers and let them negotiate their own plans and lower health insurance premiums i'd ask for  represented buck thank you madam chair and i heard this in committee and i have to be honest this is a great innovative way of a community coming together for their health care needs so i asked for everyone to support this thank you is there what we're really trying to do here is create a great place for people that go out and have a good time at the stock so without having to chug or dump their beer when they cross over so i would ask for an aye vote minority leader niffle thank you madam cha one by representatives carver and mclaughlin also centers gardner engine all concerning human trafficking prevention training by the department of public safety representative  carper thank you madam chair i move house bill ten fifty one and asked for a yes vote and the committee report and the committee report thank you representative carver to the appropriations committee report representative mclaughlin thank you madam chair it's really nice to work with a representative who also needs to lower the podium so it's a good day for massa yes the we put an amendment on in appropriations that said we do not need appropriations that we found it from another cash fund the sex offender surcharge fund it's for one year only but we were very happy with that it does not change the tenor of the bill is there any further discussion on the appropriations committee report seeing none the question before us is the adoption of the committee report those in favor say aye aye those opposed no the appropriations committee report pass representative carper thank you madam chair we made some minor technical changes as for a yes vote is there any further discussion on the committee report seeing none the question before us is the adoption of the committee report those in favor say aye aye those opposed no the committee report passes to the bill to the belly representative carver sorry thank you m chair members this is a straightforward bill this provides additional training assistance to law enforcement and victims assistance groups with regards to human sex trafficking this is a growing crime in colorado the bill prioritizes these training opportunities giving priority to rural districts those that cannot afford to pay for the training of their staff out of there budget it also recognizes and codifies that human traffickers that are doing recruitment in our schools and they are doing recruitment in our schools is a public safety threat to our children and it therefore directs and recognizes that this public safety threat to our children is an issue that the colorado school safety center should address thank you representative mclaughlin thank you madam chair as a representative car carver said this is a growing problem in colorado and the more people we can train to identify people who have been in the process of being human traffic the better we can do in colorado thank you is there any further discussion on ho  the bill works together to address the fear stigma and lack of appropriate treatment for mothers and their children this bill will not only improve access to treatment for mothers but greatly reduces the negative impact of outcomes for colorado's kids specifically this bill will extend the enrollment period up to one year after giving birth for the special connections program allowing additional colorado mothers to exceed critical services to support them and their growing families special connections is an existing state program that supports courts high risk pregnant women with substance use disorders by offering residential treatment the bill also authorizes the department of healthcare policy and financing the seek of federal approval to move the special connections program from a fee for service program waiver to a waiver to cover all individuals with substance use disorders the bill also creates two pilot programs to evaluate novel to generational approaches to increasing child's care for parents and substance use disorder treatments and finally the bill is a families together not have that threat of a new mom losing her baby it's got positive outcome so i'd ask for a yes vote also thank you representative felton is there any further discussion seeing none the question before us is the passage of ho madam chair we went through appropriations this morning had two quick little amendments that were approved and we ask for an aye vote is there any further discussion on the appropriations committee report seeing none the question before us is the adoption of the committee report those in favor say aye aye those no the committee report passes to the public health care and human services report representative cutter madam chair we just had a few amendments working with stakeholders to short things up a little bit and some technical things to make sure everyone was on the same page is there any further discussion on the committee report seeing none  a physical help that we get on a regular basis from our doctors a lot of moving conversations and testimony past eleven zero nothing out of the health care committee i ask for an aye vote today representative cutter thank you madam chair there's no denying that we're in a mental health crisis more than one million coloradans experienced mental health or substance use disorders each year half of them don't get the treatment and the services  suicide is the number one cause of death for colorado's youth ages twelve ten to twenty four ten years old people are more likely to die from drug overdose than from an automobile accident this act will modernize our behavioral coverage laws including covering a full range of conditions or disorders regardless of whether the condition is based on genetic or environmental factors it will strengthen prevention and screening laws shifting our focus to early intervention and it will ensure enforcement and transparency of existing state and federal parity laws and increase overall increased consumer protection just eliminate gaps and loopholes so that more caught no more coloradans throws fall through the cracks and we madam chair and just for the sponsors i'm just wondering how this differs from what the federal health care reform requires for parity do you know if it's over and above or because my concern is that the fiscal amount note might be somewhat low in a bill of this magnitude and so i'm just wondering if there is what the additional requirements are from health care reform at the federal level required parity and i'm just wondering how much more this is gonna cost representative cutter thank you madam chair it  enforces health care federal healthcare parity is not being enforced there's plenty of data around this and what this bill does is put it into statute here in colorado said that those laws are enforced that's the bottom line we'd like i'd move forty five the judiciary report and the appropriations report thank you to the appropriations report thank you madam chair so we did have appropriations meeting this morning and we passed the appropriations committee report pass seventeen with representative dave young whose limited to gifts grants and donations we we started out with a rather large fiscal note of one five million in the first year and through diligent work and the entire session we have brought that number down to a much smaller and much more equitable number we have scaled the project down for the first year but we're thinking that with the general fund appropriation of approximately four hundred and eight thousand dollars we can get this program launched and i would respectfully ask for an aye vote representative soper thank you madam chair this is a really good bill ever since i first heard it in judiciary i was really impressed by the work bill i just would like to describe briefly the scenario that takes place someone goes into a hospital they're elderly it's for an acute health condition while they're there they lose their cognitive reasoning they're unable to go back necessarily to their family home so the hospital will look for friends or family to be able to be a guardian to look after this individual and when no one can be found they end up just staying in the hospital when the medical condition is passed so it actually ends up costing our hospitals a lot of money when in fact all they really need is is a guardian to be able to do so and a public guardianship model as a model that's proven to work in our neighboring states of nevada and new mexico mister majority leader thank you madame chair great job today i move the committee rise and report you've heard the motion the committee will now rise from report thank you have heard the motion there are no amendments at the desk mister randol please open the machine and m mister randall please close the machine with forty five i vote sixteen no votes and four excuse the report of the committee of the whole is passed majority leader garnett oh third okay do you want to proceed out of order please open the machine and members please vote  please close the machine with fifty five i vote to eight no votes and two excuse please close the machine with forty aye votes twenty three no votes into excused thank you madam speaker i wasn't you hear this a lot i wasn't gonna come down and talk about this but six days ago there was a death in my community young woman helen and abby passed away and she died by suicide so i called up the family and let them know what we were doing on the house floor and what we were working on and they asked me to say a few things and i would not have done this without their permission but i just want to honor her life a little bit here and i'm gonna read just a short excerpt from her obituary helen and abby beloved and beautiful west view middle school helen thrived socially and academically she graduated with honors from silver creek high school in two thousand and fifteen where she was a member of the silver creek leadership academy she started the tara program a domestic awareness domestic abuse awareness organization while at silver creek helen continued her advocacy work at colorado state university where she was a senior majoring in social work in two thousand and seventeen she represented csu in washington dc as a delegate for a conference concerning human rights in diversity and helen was an active member of crews at the csu campus and brought warmth and her candid spirit and her work to educate her students about positive health behavior helen worked  tirelessly to ensure reproductive rights of women around the globe and she had recently returned from a semester studying abroad in argentina helen truly wanted to make the world a more accepting place and countless lives were improved in her presence because of her presence in the community the youngest of our siblings helen adored spending time with her three older sisters brothers nieces and nephews amongst her friends helen was known for her strong sense of leadership a passion for what is right and an infectious laugh helen died too soon and her family members and her friends are devastated by this loss in lieu of flowers please consider making a donation to the hope for depression research foundation or for the american foundation for suicide prevention her memorial is going to be held tomorrow and i called up this family not just because their constituents with strong roots in longmont because helen reminded me of me she went to school in boulder county she participated in domestic violence awareness programs like i did as a high school student she graduated and went on to the same university that i didn't got the same major that i did she was four weeks from graduation the amount of vicarious trauma that even students take on when they decide to become a social work student can be overwhelming the amount of stress that college students and high school students face by themselves is enough so when i called this family up and asked them what else they wanted me to share with you all they said that not only do they support this bill but they're leaving a lot of room open in their hearts for love right now and i think for me i won't debate the bill right now but i will say i believe she would have wanted this bill to pass she wanted to become one of these professionals that would have helped some of these kids and i'm asking you and all of us to think about how we can leave some room open in our hearts as we go on through the session through the last couple  weeks here not just on this bill but on every bill and every interaction and i want to put out a special thanks to to mike feely and president tony frank who have found a way for helen to receive her degree in social posthumously and allow her sister to walk in her honor at commencement in just a couple of weeks members thank you for your attention please leave some room open in your hearts for some love and vote your consci you madam speaker so i'll join in the morning for someone who lost their life and for the family however this bill is a deliberate displacement of parents through government schools that was validated at about four zero a m this morning this is a really bad idea and we need to vote against it thank  catelyn duran mckean please close the machine with i votes no no votes and one excused hospital eleven thirty threes past co sponsors passage the
