The public has been asking for it for years, and it looks like it will finally happen.
On Monday, the executive committee of the Legislative Council, comprised of six legislative leaders, looked at the cost of live-streaming videos of committee hearings at the Capitol. The discussion focused on a pilot program that would begin with the 2026 session. Should that move forward, Colorado would cease to be the only state in the nation that does not live-stream its legislative committee hearings.
For years, the lack of live video streaming has been a problem for governmental transparency advocates and other members of the public.
The cameras are already in the committee hearing rooms and used for remote testimony, so converting to live video streaming is a minor change.
