Thank you for your testimony and reporting your observations. You summarized my observations that were not included in my Substack post. https://greennuke.substack.com/p/cgnp-supports-colorado-hb-1040-during One of the opponents (with a Ph.D.) no less spoke for about 30 seconds after the time chime sounded. I believe the failure of the pair of last-minute restrictive amendments and the passage of the bill out of Committee by a 6 YES - 3 NO vote bodes well for Colorado.

More good news. HB 1040 passed the Colorado Senate on 14 March 2025. See GreenNUKE for more details.

Thank you David for your testimony and for your remarks and observations here.

I agree totally that Sen. Winter ran a great committee. It seemed pretty obvious from the start she was going to be opposed but she did an excellent job at making sure all voices were heard.

I agree. There were more voices supporting HB 1040 than opponents.
