House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, told a legislative preview breakfast Tuesday that he expects flood-related bills to be among the top agenda items for the 2014 legislature.
The Flood Disaster Study Committee later approved seven additional bills and pledged more legislation to come in the wake of the September floods.
The legislative session opens Wednesday.
One flood-related bill would create grants to help fix water and wastewater facilities. Another would provide tax credits for those who lost homes or had their property destroyed. A third would extend the same limited immunity volunteer firefighters have to other volunteers and organizations that help during emergencies.
“(The flood) is one of those issues that we need to deal with both how we’re helping those people and those businesses impacted by the floods,” Ferrandino said.
The bipartisan , is made up of six Democrats and six Republicans.
