HJR 25-1010 Colorado House · 2025 Regular Session

Military Appreciation Day

HJR 25-1010 is a symbolic resolution designating Colorado's Military, Veterans, and POW/MIA Appreciation Day to honor active service members, veterans, and their families. It expresses legislative gratitude for military contributions, supports installations like Fort Carson, and encourages Coloradans to participate in annual celebrations. The resolution does not create new laws or programs but serves as a formal recognition of military service and sacrifice. It passed unanimously in both chambers of the Colorado legislature in early 2025.

What changed between versions

Signed Act (02/27/2025) Revised (02/11/2025) · 5 edits
MODERATE
The bill was reformatted from a signed act version to a revised draft version with updated header information, sponsor lists, and page numbering. The substantive policy content remains unchanged, including the recognition of military service, veterans, and POW/MIA appreciation, as well as the list of recipients for the joint resolution copies.
TECHNICAL

Header information was updated to include session details (First Regular Session, Seventy-fifth General Assembly), bill number (LLS NO. R25-0791.01), and revised date (February 11, 2025) instead of the signed act date.

Sponsor lists were reorganized and formatted with clear House and Senate sections, with minor corrections to names (e.g., 'WinterT.' to 'Winter T.', 'J odeh' to 'Jodeh').

Page numbering and layout were restructured to show the bill in draft form with line numbers, dates, and reading status annotations instead of the final signed format.

Removed signatures and official titles from the House and Senate leadership (Speaker, President of Senate, Chief Clerk, Secretary) as this is a draft version before final passage.

Added explanatory notes about markup conventions (shading, underlining, dashes) to help identify amendments.
