Legislation

Change doesn’t happen all at once. It’s a process, that is built step by step, through listening, collaboration, and action. The legislation below reflect this process, measures I’ve sponsored and co-sponsored, many with bipartisan support.

Increasing Affordability

We made it easier for artists to make a living and do business in Colorado(SB26-133). We worked to ease the squeeze of rising costs by bringing more transparency to insurance decisions (HB25-1002) and strengthening wage protections (HB25-1001). We’ve also supported pathways to more attainable housing (HB25-1272) and worked to improve the affordability of private health insurance (HB25B-1006).

Strengthening Our Mental Health System

We established safeguards for how artificial intelligence is used in the delivery of psychotherapy (HB26-1195). We simplified the contracting and reporting process for healthcare providers so more people can obtain proper mental healthcare (HB26-1116 and HB25-1124) and expanded treatment options for youth with severe depression (HB25-1070). We removed barriers like copays for those who can least afford them (HB25-1026) and bolstered re-entry support for those exiting prison (HB25-1129).

Advancing Human Rights

We strengthened the law to prevent discrimination against rideshare passengers with service animals and wheelchairs (HB26-1043). We helped those with disabilities obtain meaningful employment (HB25-1018), and have the opportunity to fully participate in their communities (HB25-1017). We took meaningful steps to protect dignity and expand opportunity, safeguarding access to essential health care (HB25-1309) and strengthening legal protections (HB25-1312) for trans individuals.
