  • The Arc of Colorado 2019 Legislative Scorecard
    The Arc of Colorado 2019 Legislative Scorecard A Letter from Our Executive Director: Dear Members of The Arc Community, Once again, I would like to thank each of you for your part in a successful legislative session. We rely on your expertise in the field. We rely on you for our strength in numbers. For all the ways you contributed this session, we are deeply appreciative. I would like to give a special thanks to those that came and testified on our behalf; Stephanie Garcia, Carol Meredith, Linda Skafflen, Shelby Lowery, Vicki Wray, Rowan Frederiksen, and many others who I may not have mentioned here. This session was a historic one. For the first time in 75 years, one party had control of the house, senate, and governor’s office. Additionally, there were 43 new legislators! We enjoyed a productive year in which The Arc of Colorado monitored 100 bills. Of those that we supported, 92% were signed by the governor and 100% of the bills that we opposed died. This high success rate means that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families will have more opportunity to better live, work, learn, and play in their Colorado communities, with increased support. We are excited about many of this year’s outcomes. In a very tight budget year, the Joint Budget Committee was able to free up money for 150 additional slots for the Developmental Disabilities waiver waitlist. After three years of involvement, we finally saw the passing of HB19-1194, which places restrictions on suspensions and expulsions of children from preschool, through to second grade.

  • February 1, 2018 the Honorable Joann Ginal, Chair Health
    Department of Health Care Policy and Financing 1570 Grant Street Denver, CO 80203 February 1, 2018 The Honorable Joann Ginal, Chair Health, Insurance, and Environment Committee 200 E. Colfax Avenue Denver, CO 80203 Dear Representative Ginal: Enclosed please find a legislative report to the House Health, Insurance, and Environment Committee from the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing on the Colorado Indigent Care Program (CICP) and Primary Care Fund. Section 25.5-3-107, C.R.S. requires the Department to prepare an annual report concerning the status of the medically indigent program to be submitted to the health and human services committees of the Senate and the House of Representatives no later than February 1 of each year. In FY 2016-17, more than 49,000 low-income Coloradans received discounted health care services through the CICP. In April 2017, the Department made changes to the CICP through the rule making process after more than 12 months of work with stakeholders. These changes included updated requirements for providers and clients alike, the addition of quality metrics into the payment calculation for participating clinics, and the creation of a formal Advisory Council. These changes have lessened the administrative burden on the CICP providers while maintaining the safety net for the CICP clients. If you require further information or have additional questions, please contact the Department’s Legislative Liaison, Zach Lynkiewicz, at [email protected] or 720-854-9882. Sincerely, Kim Bimestefer Executive

  • State of Colorado 2019 Legislative Scorecard
    STATE OF COLORADO 2019 LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD Introduction: It is a strategic priority of Colorado Christian University to impact our culture in support of traditional family values, sanctity of life, compassion for the poor, Biblical view of human nature, limited government, personal freedom, free markets, natural law, original intent of the Constitution, and Western civilization. We do many things to impact the culture in this way including speaker lectures, research, publications, student training, as well as direct lobbying at the Colorado state capitol. During the 2019 legislative session, the Centennial Institute scored ten bills and provided extra credit for two additional bills. This past legislative session demonstrated that the Colorado legislature is leading our state in opposition to Biblical values. The bills that passed threaten parental rights, the sanctity of life, religious freedom, free markets, and the original intent of the Constitution. We hope this scorecard will help you understand how Colorado legislators are voting on bills that directly affect you and your family. In spite of the challenges we faced in the legislature, there are legislators working to protect our values. Those legislators with a score of nine or better in our scorecard are honored each year at the Western Conservative Summit with the Faith, Family, and Freedom Award. This year, we have thirty legislators deserving of this award. If you are interested in being more proactive in shaping Colorado public policy, we hope you will join our legislative activist network titled Centennial Frontline. For faith, family, and freedom, Jeff Hunt Director, Centennial Institute Scored: House Bill 1032 – Comprehensive Human Sexuality Education HB 1032 as signed amends state law related to comprehensive human sexuality education instruction and funds the associated grant program.
