Legislation edit
During the 2013 and 2014 session, Dan Nordberg sponsored 13 bills, 6 of which were signed into law by Governor John 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,[5] and improve collaboration between federal and state policymakers.[6] 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.[7]
In 2013, three of Dan Nordberg's proposed bills were signed into law. One bill ensured aid received by military families remains tax free.[8] Another bill authorized a study to determine the impact of human trafficking in Colorado so that legislative solutions could be procured.[9] The final measure requires regulators to notify legislators when they promulgate rules as a result of their legislation.[10]
Other bills which did not pass would have:
- Required a super-majority to create or increase fees[11]
- Authorized state audit of Colorado Health Insurance Exchange[12]
- Provided state tax deduction matching federal penalty for persons who fail to purchase health insurance, as mandated by the Affordable Care Act[13]
- Prohibited use of public assistance money at marijuana dispensaries[14]
- Strengthened 4th amendment rights by requiring law enforcement to furnish a warrant to search electronic data[8]
