Colorado State Capitol

Colorado’s 2023 State Legislative Session begins each January, starting the 120-day count-down for legislators, lobbyists, and advocates to move bills through the process of becoming a state law. Bills are often slow to be introduced at first, but the pace quickly accelerates with hundreds of bills by the end of session.

  • What to expect this session: This year, we’re supporting bills to protect providers of abortion and gender-affirming care from interstate threats, increase access to health care, support LGBTQ+ youth in schools, and more. We’re also stepping up once again to defend our community against political attacks, like the anti-trans sports ban.
  • Stay tuned: From the start of session until May 8th, we’ll be advocating at the Capitol to make LGBTQ+ voices heard. We hope you join us!
