Governor Polis Marks Conclusion of Bill Signing Period Following Landmark Legislative Session that Delivered Real Results for Colorado

DENVER - Today, Governor Jared Polis marked the conclusion of the bill-signing period following this year’s landmark legislative session that delivered real results for Colorado.

“I will continue to challenge us to envision what we want Colorado to look like when our beautiful state turns 150. Colorado has among the best economies and talented workforces in the country and I was proud to sign bipartisan new laws to build upon our administration’s efforts to save people money on health care, achieve 100% renewable energy by 2040, improve education for every student, make us one of the ten safest states, cut property taxes and ensure Colorado is the best place to live and work,” said Governor Polis. “There’s more work to do to help Coloradans save money and live the life they want so I am grateful for the leadership of Speaker McCluskie, President Fenberg, Minority Leaders Lynch and Lundeen, and legislators for their commitment to public service and look forward to the years of partnership ahead.”

This year, in partnership with the legislature, Governor Polis signed a fiscally responsible and bipartisan budget that includes record savings for the future and record investments in Colorado students. The Governor signed nation-leading laws investing in education and workforce, improving math scores, achieving 100% renewable energy by 2040, harnessing geothermal, making Colorado one of the top ten safest states, and bold efforts to help save people money on health care and prescription drugs, a measure to help cut property taxes for Coloradans and seniors and addressing housing challenges. Gov. Polis also signed a new law that allows Colorado farmers and ranchers to finally be able to legally fix their own equipment, expand freedom and protect access to reproductive health care, and combat gun violence.

Governor Polis signed 473 bills into law across Colorado, the majority of which were bipartisan.
