Legislative Session

Weld County commissioners and department directors take an active role in the state's legislative process. Whether through testimony on bills or by proposing legislation, Weld County government works diligently to ensure the voices of Weld County residents are heard and considered at the state level.

When the 2026 legislative session begins in January, the public information and communications department will post the list of bills the county is following. 

Each week during the session, commissioners, county elected officials, and department heads meet to discuss newly proposed bills and their impact on Weld County. Commissioners will take one of four positions on a proposed bill:

• Support: Commissioners support the proposed bill as introduced.
• Oppose: Commissioners oppose the proposed bill as introduced.
• Amend: Commissioners would support the proposed bill if amendments were made, which would make the bill better suited for Weld County needs. Commissioners work with the county attorney, department heads and a hired lobbying firm to submit the proposed amendments.
• Monitor: Commissioners agree to monitor the proposed bill as more information is gathered as to whether or not the proposed bill would have an impact on Weld County.
