It also would have prohibited holding a person for more than 48 hours or detaining them because of such characteristics. The bill died in the state Senate.
- Her vote against a budget amendment to increase funding for schools. The measure would have taken money away from Medicaid reimbursments or the state employee pension program, according to the Denver Post.
- Her votes for licensing requirements for free-standing emergency departments and create a program to help Coloradans with high health-care costs. It aimed to get federal grants to reduce health insurance costs in areas where they are high, and also would have levied a fee on health insurers. Both bills died in the Senate.
