The second regular session of Colorado’s 75th General Assembly adjourned on May 13. In layman’s terms: the legislature wrapped up their work last week. While state senators and representatives were pushing what bills they could across the finish line, and blocking others, JoyBelle Phelan from Colorado Radio for Justice (CRJ) sat down a few blocks away at the office of the Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition (CCJRC) with their Deputy Director, Kyle Giddings. In this episode, they take stock of what criminal-legal-related bills are headed to the governor’s desk, to await signature or veto. Phelan and Giddings also take a look at some critical ballot measures on the horizon this fall in Colorado, and they dig into key questions: Do CCJRC’s positions fly in the face of Prop 128 (2024)? What should voters make of the looming fentanyl ballot measure? And what’s the number one misunderstanding the public has about the carceral system?
