HB25-1256: Life-Sustaining Treatment Minors Parent Rights (Simon’s Law)
Defending Parental Rights in Life-or-Death Decisions
No hospital should override a parent's right to fight for their child’s life.
This bill is also known as Simon's Law. Simon Crosier was born in 2010 with congenital heart defects and a bilateral cleft lip—treatable conditions. But because he was diagnosed with Trisomy 18, doctors decided his life wasn’t worth saving. A Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order was placed on Simon without his parents' knowledge. When his oxygen levels dropped, his parents begged for intervention—but no one came to save him.
This is happening to children across America. Parents are being stripped of their rights while doctors make life-or-death decisions without their consent. That’s why we need YOU to show up and fight for HB25-1256 –Life-Sustaining Treatment Minors Parent Rights (Simon's Law) in committee.
📌 Key Protections in HB25-1256:
✅ Requires parental consent for any DNR order placed on a minor.
✅ Provides transparency—parents can request a hospital’s resuscitation policies upfront.
✅ Guarantees the right to a second opinion and transfer to another facility.

Retail Theft: Democrats Say Crime is Decreasing—Do You Believe Them?
Meanwhile, Democrats killed my retail theft bill (HB25-1141) while insisting property crime in Colorado is on the decline. Really?
Here are the facts:
Retail theft cases have jumped from 37,000 to 40,000 in just a year—a 6% increase.
Over $1 BILLION in losses last year alone due to organized retail crime.
Businesses are suffering, families are paying higher prices, and criminals face no real consequences.
To make matters worse, after voting down my bill to increase state penalties for repeat offenders, Democrats doubled down by passing a bill that strips local governments from enforcing stricter penalties on retail theft.
The message is clear: protecting criminals is more important than protecting small businesses and consumers.
Huge thanks to @GOP_Jarvis for providing rock-solid data and exposing the Democrats’ nonsense arguments, and to @GeorgeBrauchler and @DanielleJurinsky for standing firm in committee and taking the heat from those who refuse to acknowledge reality. Big thank you to Erik Stone for showing up to give testimony on my last two bills and everyone else who showed up. I couldn't do it without the support, even if they kill it in committee.
Colorado’s Health Committee: Ideology Over Science
The committee advanced legislation (HB25-1109) that could make Colorado the first state where men can die from ovarian cancer and women can die from prostate cancer—all to fit a political agenda. This same bill also tramples religious freedoms by forcing funeral home directors and coroners to conform to ideology rather than science. We are living in WILD times here in Colorado.
