List of helpful items to know before you arrive at the capitol building is available on this page because of the length:

Some of these hearings are lengthy so a bottle of water would probably be helpful. 

These are not the only bills and committees working.  Many of the bills before the legislature are problematic and an attack on many liberties of all of the citizens of Colorado.  Please get informed and get involved. 

There are also townhalls coming on the schedule.  While the legislature needs oversight, local municipalities, counties, school districts, and others are not functioning very well. 

For those who cannot get to the capitol, hearings are available via audio links (left side of the following web page):
