Jared Polis has been governor of Colorado since January 8, 2019. Since then, the Colorado General Assembly (the state legislature) passes about five hundreds bills each regular session, most of which Polis has signed into law.
An approximate breakdown of all the bills signed by year is given below. Note this includes regular and special sessions:
- 2019: 454 signed (5 vetoed)
- 2020: 326 signed (3 vetoed; lower due to COVID-19 disruptions)
- 2021: 502 signed (few vetoed; legislature sent ~503 bills)
- 2022: 507 signed (4 vetoed)
- 2023: 473 signed (10 vetoed)
- 2024: 519 signed (6 vetoed; out of 525 passed by the legislature—the highest in over a decade)
- 2025: 476 signed (11 vetoed; a personal veto record for Polis)
- 2026: 600+ is on the plate for this legislative session.
There will be approximately 4,000 bills in the Polis reign. And the number of bills passed each year is accelerating. The job of government is to streamline economic progress for private businesses, not regulate every inch of business. Most of these bills regulate, regulate, regulate, tax, tax, tax, fee, fee, fee. It’s time for a new government while we still can.
While people are hard at work, raising families and the like, they don’t have time to pay attention to the bills (laws) the legislature are passing. What many don’t know is the legislators are passing CRAZY BILLS. A crazy bill is driven by ideology and not what is best for Coloradan’s. This is driven by a one party legislature.
