The Colorado House advanced several bills on third reading while also unanimously adopting a youth mental health recognition resolution, with the most contentious floor action centered on HB 1110, a bill protecting vulnerable adults from financial exploitation at banks, which was ultimately laid over until March 4 on motion of Majority Leader Duran, while HB 1113 on election law modifications passed by the narrowest margin of the day at 41-22.

Representative Garcia argued the immunity provision on page 8, lines 7 through 12 'completely negates the protection' and that financial institutions 'can already' place holds on suspicious transactions without the bill, so the bill's real purpose is to grant immunity; Garcia also criticized sponsors for failing to engage after committee as committed. Representative Camacho responded: 'I think there is a critical distinction between working with someone and disagreeing with someone. If we disagree with your approach, it doesn't mean we didn't work with you. It means we disagree with your approach. This bill already provides the protection necessary.' Representative Jackson disputed Garcia's characterization: 'I also just want the record to reflect that we had conversations yesterday about the amendments about this bill, and so to say that that that didn't occur, I'm not sure where that's coming from.'
