Legislation

During the 2013 and 2014 session, Dan Nordberg sponsored 13 bills, 6 of which were signed into law by Governor Hickenlooper. Of the three bills signed into law in 2014, two aim to mitigate the possibility of a Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) by authorizing the state of Colorado to furnish data outlining the negative impact a BRAC would have on Colorado,[4] and improve collaboration between federal and state policymakers.[5] Another law eliminates income tax for non-resident emergency service workers, thus removing financial deterrents for out of state individuals and businesses lending aid in times of declared disasters.[6]

In 2013, three of Dan Nordberg's proposed bills were signed into law. One bill ensured aid received by military families remains tax free.[7] Another bill authorized a study to determine the impact of human trafficking in Colorado so that legislative solutions could be procured.[8] The final measure requires regulators to notify legislators when they promulgate rules as a result of their legislation.[9]

Other bills which did not pass would have:

  • Required a super-majority to create or increase fees[10]
  • Authorized state audit of Colorado Health Insurance Exchange[11]
  • Provided state tax deduction matching federal penalty for persons who fail to purchase health insurance, as mandated by the Affordable Care Act[12]
  • Prohibited use of public assistance money at marijuana dispensaries[13]
  • Strengthened 4th amendment rights by requiring law enforcement to furnish a warrant to search electronic data[7]

  • Business, Labor, Economic, & Workforce Development[14]
  • Joint State Veterans & Military Affairs Committee[15]
