SB25-145 requires sellers to offer simple online cancellation of automatic renewal contracts or trial periods < Back February 13, 2026 Bill to Make it Easier for Consumers to End Automatic Contract Renewals Fully Goes Into Effect SB25-145 requires sellers to offer simple online cancellation of automatic renewal contracts or trial periods DENVER, CO – Legislation to protect consumers from burdensome automatic renewal contract cancellations fully goes into effect Monday, February 16, 2026. Sponsored by Senator Cathy Kipp, D-Fort Collins, and Representatives Mandy Lindsay, D-Aurora, and Yara Zokaie, D-Fort Collins, SB25-145 requires sellers of goods and services to implement simple mechanisms for consumers to cancel automatic renewal contracts and trial periods either online or in-person. Failure to do so constitutes a deceptive trade practice under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act. “There is nothing more frustrating than signing up for a free trial or a subscription only to have to jump through hoop after difficult hoop to try to cancel that subscription,” said Kipp. “This new law helps prevent deceptive practices and simplifies the process for Coloradans to cancel their subscriptions online, saving them time and money in the long run.” “While companies make it simple to start a subscription online, they often add extra steps to cancel, and we do not think that is fair for Colorado consumers,” said Lindsay. “Our new law is going into effect, requiring businesses to make the cancellation process straightforward for consumers. This will save Coloradans time cancelling unwanted subscriptions and money on services or products they don’t need.” “Too many companies are using complicated cancellation processes to trap consumers into contracts with costly charges. We passed a law last year to simplify the cancelation process for Coloradans,” said Zokaie. “From Netflix and Amazon Prime to gym memberships, subscription services are prevalent in our daily lives. Our new law requires the option to cancel online, saving Coloradans money on services they no longer find useful.” SB25-145 builds upon HB21-1239 , also sponsored by Kipp, which provided transparency to consumers entering into automatic renewal contracts, to further shore up consumer protections.

The House Finance Committee today passed legislation that would extend the Colorado Homeless Contribution Tax Credit to continue funding to house people facing homelessness. HB26-1015, sponsored by Rep. Karen McCormick, passed by a vote of 10-1. < Back February 12, 2026 Committee Passes Bill to Continue Tax Credit to Keep Coloradans Safely Housed DENVER, CO - The House Finance Committee today passed legislation that would extend the Colorado Homeless Contribution Tax Credit to continue funding to house people facing homelessness. HB26-1015, sponsored by Rep. Karen McCormick, passed by a vote of 10-1. “Every Coloradan deserves stable housing, and the Colorado Homeless Contribution Tax Credit has been a major source of funding for non-profit organizations that help keep Coloradans safely housed,” said Rep. Karen McCormick, D-Longmont. “In its first year, the tax credit generated over $20 million to fill in funding gaps for everything from skills training to emergency housing. The public-private return on investment is over fourfold, effectively driving up funding for some of the most vulnerable Coloradans. Every Coloradan deserves a safe place to sleep and tools to succeed, and the continuation of this tax credit ensures that people have more resources to thrive.” HB26-1015 , also sponsored by Representative Rick Taggart, R-Grand Junction, would extend the Colorado Homeless Contribution Tax Credit through state income tax year 2030. In 2022, the Colorado legislature created the Colorado Homeless Contribution Income Tax Credit. It was a bipartisan effort to drive up monetary or in-kind donations for non-profits that provide temporary, emergency or transitional housing programs for people and families experiencing homelessness. The tax credit also funds projects that offer homeless prevention services, domestic violence survivor shelters and services, Workforce Ready Services and case management. Taxpayers can claim 25-percent of their donation as a state income tax credit for projects located in an urban community or 30-percent of their donation for projects located in a rural community.

< Back April 28, 2022 TRANSFORMATIONAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BILLS ADVANCE HOUSE Legislation would fund the responsible gaming program and water preservation efforts DENVER, CO – The House Finance Committee passed Speaker Alec Garnett’s bill today to promote responsible gaming and support Colorado’s watersheds. HB22-1402 would allocate more than $3 million to create a grant program to provide services to Coloradans experiencing problem gaming and boost funding for the Colorado Water Plan. “In the last two years, Colorado’s gaming industry has experienced significant growth and the excitement of sports betting has raised limits and boosted state revenue,” said Speaker Alec Garnett, D-Denver. “As Colorado’s gaming industry adapts, it is our responsibility to make sure Coloradans have the recovery and treatment resources they need to combat a gaming problem – this bill does that and more. It takes us one step closer to the original goal of legalizing sports betting in Colorado which is to provide proper funding to the Colorado Water Plan; and thanks to the increase in revenue, we can direct millions toward preserving Colorado’s watersheds and building a safer, healthier Colorado for everyone.” Responsible Gaming Grant Program: HB22-1402 , sponsored by Speaker Alec Garnett, passed committee by a vote of 9-2. The introduction of sports betting in Colorado in 2020 has led to major growth in the gaming industry, partly due to higher limits and additional games. This bill provides more funding for the responsible gaming grant program in the Department of Revenue (DOR) to promote responsible gaming and address problem gaming. The grant program will distribute funding to help Coloradans struggling with gaming problems with prevention, recovery and treatment resources. The grant funding can also be used for research purposes to aid the DOR in providing better support for Coloradans recovering from a gaming problem. The bill also allocates more funding for the Colorado Water Plan by limiting the number of free bets that Sports Betting Operators can offer tax-free. Under the bill with fewer tax-free bets, the additional money raised from taxes on gaming will be allocated toward improving Colorado’s watersheds and environment. Previous Next

< Back April 8, 2019 HOUSE APPROVES BIPARTISAN REINSURANCE BILL TO HELP LOWER THE COST OF HEALTH CARE Reinsurance is a proven approach to helping cut health care costs (Apr. 8) – The House gave final approval to a bipartisan bill to help lower the cost of health care today. The chamber also voted in favor of a bill to increase medical assistance with rural EMTs. Coloradans on the individual market are struggling to keep up with the out-of-control costs of health care, particularly in rural areas of the state. By establishing a reinsurance program Colorado can stabilize the individual marketplace, increase health insurance participation and share the risks more broadly. “After all the work we’ve put into this, I am ecstatic to see this bill move into the Senate on its way to do what it’s intended to do — save Coloradans money on their health care. Reinsurance is a proven concept that will work to lower the cost of health insurance premiums, especially on the Western Slope,” said Rep. Julie McCluskie, D-Dillon. “This will have a meaningful reduction in health insurance rates on the individual market across the state. We don’t have any more time to waste. People are deciding between paying their mortgage and their health insurance right now.” Rising health care costs are driven in part by the underlying cost of care but are exacerbated by an insurance market that assigns the highest risks and highest costs to the individual market. This is particularly the case on the Western Slope and in rural Colorado, causing families and individuals to forgo health insurance coverage and putting them at major risk of medical debt if emergencies arise. Rep. McCluskie introduced the bipartisan bill in the House with Rep. Janice Rich, R-Grand Junction. Sen. Kerry Donovan, D-Vail, and Sen. Bob Rankin, R-Carbondale, are the Senate sponsors. Recently, the Division of Insurance (DOI), part of the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA), released an actuarial study on the reinsurance program. The Colorado Reinsurance Program Analysis looked at multiple scenarios that showed the expected reductions to the costs of medical claims through Medicare-reference-based pricing. These reduced costs lead to a statewide decrease in individual health insurance premiums of nearly 23 percent, or approximately $250,000,000. This bipartisan bill aims to reduce insurance premiums for individuals and families by January 2020 to provide much-needed relief to Coloradans, many of whom are paying up to a third of their income on monthly premiums. Our state, especially the Western Slope, has some of the highest health insurance costs in the country. The bill will establish three tiers, from the highest cost areas of the state to the lowest cost areas, in order to pass savings on to Coloradans. The first tier, consisting of regions in the state with the highest costs, will experience the greatest reduction in premiums, by 30 to 35 percent. The second tier will experience reductions in premiums by 20 to 25 percent. Finally, the third tier, regions with the lowest costs, will experience reductions in premiums by 15 to 20 percent. HB19-1168 passed on a bipartisan vote of 47-15. Republicans who voted in favor of this bill include bill sponsor Rep. Janice Rich, Rep. Marc Catlin, Rep. Lois Landgraf, Rep. Larry Liston, Rep. Hugh McKean, Rep. Matt Soper, Rep. Perry Will, and Rep. Jim Wilson. The House also approved SB19-052, sponsored by Rep. Kyle Mullica. This bill would allow EMS workers to work under the medical supervision of a licensed physician, physician assistant, advanced practice nurse, or registered nurse at a clinic or health facility. “This bill will allow for EMTs to come into health care facilities and clinics to help care for more patients, especially in rural clinics and cities that have hard-to-get-to facilities,” said Rep. Mullica, D-Northglenn . “Currently patients end up suffering because they have to drive further for care because clinics are closing down in their area.” SB19-052 passed unanimously. Both bills now head to the Senate. Previous Next

< Back December 13, 2023 Speaker McCluskie Makes Committee Assignments DENVER, CO – House Speaker Julie McCluskie today made committee appointments for the second regular session of the 74th General Assembly. These legislative appointments were necessitated in part by the resignations of Representatives Dickson, Michaelson Jenet and Gonzales-Gutierrez. “Committees are critical to the legislative process and where so much of our work gets done. With session just around the corner, these committee assignments lay the groundwork to continue doing the work Coloradans elected us to do,” said Speaker Julie McCluskie, D-Dillon. “Each lawmaker and the committees they serve on play an important role in crafting critical legislation that will uplift hardworking families, invest in public education, protect our water and air for future generations, and make Colorado a more affordable place to live and thrive.” The changes include a combined Health and Human Services committee, to take the place of the previously named Health and Insurance committee as well as the Public and Behavioral Health and Human Services committee.

< Back March 29, 2021 HOUSE APPROVES BALLOT ACCESS EXPANSION Legislation to create a multilingual ballot hotline and require certain counties to print ballots in languages other than English passes House on third reading DENVER, CO– The House today passed Representative Yadira Caraveo’s bill to increase voter turnout and access by expanding access to multilingual ballots. The bill passed the House by a vote of 40-23. “Ensuring that more eligible voters thoroughly understand their ballots and are able to freely cast their vote is good for democracy and good for Colorado,” said Rep. Yadira Caraveo (D-Thornton). “Colorado’s elections system is among the best in the country and the world because it makes it easy for voters to participate in the democratic process while guaranteeing the integrity of our elections. Today we took a important step towards improving our gold-standard system by truly enfranchising eligible voters in Colorado who do not speak English very well but want to make their voices heard.” HB21-1011 would give all voters access to a hotline that would provide over-the-phone ballot translation in the top languages in which the census was offered. In addition, it would require that counties where a minority language is spoken by either 2,000 eligible voters or 2.5% of those eligible print ballots in that language, either on paper or electronically.
