Lawmaking is once again paused at the state level, as Colorado’s General Assembly left the Capitol on Friday after convening for three days of the 2021 legislative session. They plan to return Feb. 16, by which point many who work at the Capitol expect to be vaccinated. They left open the possibility of returning sooner or later than that date. It was a quiet week at the legislature before the pause, as lawmakers passed just seven bills inside of a nearly empty building.
