Signing of the Tax Fairness for Coloradans Package on July 23, 2021.

The 2021 session was one of the most ambitious and productive in recent memory. Between the session’s first day in January (including a six-week pause until mid-February) to the final day in June, lawmakers passed 502 bills of the more than 620 they introduced.

Among the historic legislation passed was the Tax Fairness for Coloradans Package, HB21-1311 y HB21-1312, sponsored by Rep. Emily Sirota and Rep. Mike Weissman and Sen. Chris Hansen and Sen. Dominick Moreno, which will bring about the biggest tax reform in Colorado in decades. The tax overhaul closed loopholes for the wealthy and big corporations and funded expansions to the state Earned Income Tax Credit and finally funded the Colorado Child Tax Credit. Everyone at CFI is grateful to our legislative champions, our friends and allies who stood side-by-side with us to get it done, and the everyday parents and workers who shared their stories about what a fairer tax code means to them.

There was a lot more that happened this year too. For a full rundown of all the bills we were engaged in, read our 2021 legislative wrap-up on our website.
