Headline Of The Day

Today vote was by voice and a recorded vote will take place tomorrow.

The House gave initial approval to Senate Bill 11 and will take a formal, recorded vote Tuesday on the measure, which already has passed the Senate. Democrats control the House 37-28, so the outcome is not in doubt. At least two Republicans support the measure: Cheri Gerou of Evergreen and Carole Murray of Castle Rock. "What this bill is about is personal freedom and individual liberties," Gerou said. "This is a good conservative bill." Gov. John Hickenlooper is expected to sign the bill into law this month; it would be implemented May 1.

The state Senate passed the bill last month. It's a done deal.
