Memorialize Former Representative Dan Williams
This House Memorial (HM 1001) is a formal tribute passed by the Colorado General Assembly honoring former State Representative Dan Williams, who died in October 2025. It recognizes his 1984-1992 service in the Colorado House, his leadership as chair of key committees (including Agriculture and Transportation), and his lifelong advocacy for Colorado ranching and farming communities. The resolution expresses the legislature's condolences to his family and sends copies of the memorial to his partner and children. It has no policy impact, as it is purely a commemorative gesture with no new laws or funding.

MODERATE
The bill was amended to reorganize the text for clarity, correct a typo in the General Assembly number, and add specific details about Representative Williams' career, including his service as an Eagle County Commissioner and his later work as a government relations consultant. These changes ensure the memorial accurately reflects his full public service record and corrects minor formatting errors.
TECHNICAL
Corrected the General Assembly number from 'Seventy-fifth' to 'Seventy-fifth' (fixing a typo in the header).
Reordered and consolidated the 'WHEREAS' clauses to improve readability and logical flow.
Adjusted the list of sponsors to include 'McCluskie' at the end of the list.
SCOPE
Added a new clause detailing Williams' service as Eagle County Commissioner and his post-legislative career as a government relations consultant.
