Food Donations, Courthouse Access & Workers Compensation for Dispatchers Bills Pass Senate

Denver, CO – Three critical bills passed an important hurdle Tuesday on their way to becoming law: 

• SB-090 to ease restrictions for organizations looking to donate food passed unanimously. This bill helps clear the way for individuals and nonprofits looking to donate wholesome foods to assist those facing hunger and poverty.
   

• SB-026, which supports the mental health of our emergency responders and dispatchers also passed the Senate with bipartisan support. Our emergency response centers, highway patrols and officers protect us every day while being subject to extreme and taxing situations. The bill expands workers' compensation to include psychological audible trauma.
   

• SB-083 also passed with bipartisan support and ensures access to justice for all Coloradans by outlawing civil arrests in our courthouses. By protecting that access, we uphold our commitment to justice for all.
