Looking Forward to 2022

As 2021 nears its close, Legislative Council Staff are reflecting on another year spent doing what we do best - serving the Colorado General Assembly.  The 2021 legislative session brought many new procedures as the COVID pandemic continued to challenge our normal ways of doing business.  The LCS helped the legislature develop new ways for members and the public to safely participate in the legislative process.  We also adopted new and more efficient ways to conduct our work too.  Throughout all the changes of the past year, however, our commitment to serve the Colorado General Assembly safely and effectively remains unchanged.  As you prepare for the 2022 legislative session, please know that LCS staff are available to assist with any issue.
