The first regular session of Colorado’s 74th General Assembly convened on January 9, 2023. During the 120 days, 617 bills were introduced. Democrats entered into the session in an almost unprecedented position of power with a 46-19 supermajority in the House and a 23-12 near supermajority in the Senate. Colorado Livestock Association lobbyists, members of the Legislative Affairs Committee, and CLA staff are continuously advocating for livestock producers at the capitol.
