I tried to find them all but maybe it is too early. I could only find stuff from 2010.

A couple that I liked



House Bill 1003, sponsored by Rep. Libby Szabo, R-Arvada, and Rep. Ken Summers, R-Lakewood, with no Senate sponsor yet. The bill would require a government-issued photo ID to vote in elections and bar the use of non-photo ID documents such as utility bills and bank statements that now can be used by voters at the polls.


House Bill 1008, sponsored by Rep. Jim Kerr, R-Littleton, and Sen. Ellen Roberts, R-Durango. The measure changes the makeup of the board of the Colorado Public Employees' Retirement Association, tilting board membership so that a majority of its members are not eligible for PERA.


Senate Bill 18, sponsored by Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch, and Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker. The bill requires people registering to vote to provide proof of citizenship by showing a passport, birth certificate or certain other documents.
I'm not sure I like this one.



House Bill 1005, sponsored by Rep. Jerry Sonnenberg, R-Sterling, and Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray. The bill would restore a sales-tax exemption for products used in agricultural production ranging from pesticide to bull semen. A Democratic-led legislature last year repealed the tax break over bitter objections from Republican and rural lawmakers.
