There are 23 #coleg primaries this year, including 10 in which an incumbent faces an intraparty challenge. Here's why the results will be so important for business discussions over the next two years: tsscolorado.com/legislative-…
Few, if any subjects, generated as much discussion this #coleg session as tech and social-media regulations. Here's what came of the discussions, and how they could impact consideration by future governors: tsscolorado.com/seven-signin…
Colorado employers list talent shortage as the #2 or #3 impediment to expanding in this state. These plans from @the_cwdc should address that issue: tsscolorado.com/employers-as…
These #coleg bills signed at the end of the period by
@GovofCO include efforts on protecting outdoor workers, ending a a software tax break, cutting road funding $700M if a road-funding ballot measure passes and banning non-attorney funding of law firms: tsscolorado.com/polis-signs-…
No discussion about net-zero mandates by 2040. No discussion about increasing natural-gas regulations. Just one law that will require @cdpheapcd rulemaking. Was the 2026 #coleg session a blip on energy debates or a transition to a new normal? tsscolorado.com/the-2026-leg…
Proponents touted these bills as reducing cost of living for Coloradans and making these systems more fair. Business leaders said they'd put too many restrictions on Colorado companies and raise costs for residents. @GovofCO agreed with businesses: tsscolorado.com/surveillance…
This week on @ColoradoChamber Office Hours, we talk with state workforce-development officials about the important next steps to implementing the 232 action plans coming out of last year's regional talent summits — and the role employers can play: tsscolorado.com/june-1-color…
Colorado's $1.5B budget shortfall might have killed most efforts to create or extend tax credits this #coleg session, but officials believed these two were so important that they must be continued: tsscolorado.com/new-laws-ext…
Next step: Business leaders will sit down with educators, government officials and labor for the next six months to lay out how this "one-stop shop" will work. The payout for employers could be significant, groups like @ColoradoChamber believe: tsscolorado.com/task-of-mesh…
More bills to boost housing construction failed in the #coleg this year as compared to recent sessions. And that particularly could be detrimental to creation of new market-rate housing. Here's why: tsscolorado.com/polis-signs-…
Any Colorado company needing an emissions permit must be prepared to pay significantly more next year. But can they expect more efficient permitting too? tsscolorado.com/commission-a…
Still catching up on everything that happened during the 2026 #coleg session? Here's a (relatively) quick overview of the most important business issues that were debated: tsscolorado.com/2026-colorad…
Members of #coleg thought they'd found a new way to raise revenues. And they will get the $200M they'd anticipated — but over a longer timeframe and only with changes to open the program to more buyers: tsscolorado.com/sale-of-tax-…
Today, @GovofCO made a statement about his priority legislation when he chose these two bills to be the first he signed into law following last night's conclusion of the 2026 #coleg session: tsscolorado.com/polis-immedi…
The dead bill sought to have the state regulate workplace safety for the first time if @OSHA_DOL rolled back certain rules. But employment attorneys from firms like @SPB_Global warned this could create great confusion for employers: tsscolorado.com/legislators-…
Two years of work resulted in just eight days of consideration and a 91-7 vote for this consequential #coleg AI bill now on its way to @GovofCO. But as Rep. @javier_mabrey said, the conversation may just be beginning: tsscolorado.com/ai-bill-head…
This officially brings an end to discussion of any data-center policy — regulatory or incentive-based — in the 2026 #coleg session: tsscolorado.com/death-of-sec…
