Gov. John Hickenlooper signed the first three bills of the 2015 legislative session — and his second term — into law Wednesday.
The three measures are mostly perfunctory.
enacts the laws approved in the 2014 session and codifies — and we’ll quote here to be exact — “stock phrases used in appropriation clauses.”
The third is a sponsored by Democratic Rep. Ed Vigil of Fort Garland and Republican Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg of Sterling. It outlines which projects across the state can qualify for money related to drinking water and pollution.
More measures are moving through the process as the legislative session approaches the halfway mark (next week — Saturday, March 7!) though most of the major bills are caught in the partisan gridlock of a Democratic House and Republican Senate.
