Bell Policy Center testimony

2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2006 Legislative Status Report

Federal immigration legislation- The Untold Stories of Colorado Immigration: The Bell Policy Center opposes state policies aimed at limiting services to undocumented immigrants. State policies denying services to undocumented immigrants will not reduce costs to taxpayers. Presented to: Alternative hearing on Immigration	By Robin Baker Aug. 29, 2006
In SUPPORT of HB 06-1351- Continue the Statewide Teen Pregnancy and Dropout Prevention Program: Based on our analysis, the Bell finds that House Bill 06-1351 promotes opportunity by reducing the incidence of teen pregnancy which reduces costs to the state by decreasing the number of children dependent on Medicaid or other public services. Presented to: Senate Health and Human Services Committee	By Robin Baker March 30, 2006
In OPPOSITION to HB 06-1062- Immigration Reform and Collection of Citizenship Data for Public School Students Enrolled in Kindergarten through 12th Grade: This bill represents a net opportunity loss for Colorado. School-age children have a right to an education, regardless of their immigration status. Presented to: House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee	By Rich Jones Feb. 21, 2006
In SUPPORT of HB 06-1327- Alternative Base Period for Calculating Unemployment Insurance Benefits in Colorado: This bill represents a net opportunity gain for Colorado. It allows workers to count their more recent earnings when qualifying for unemployment benefits. Presented to: House Business Affairs and Labor Committee	By Rich Jones Feb. 20, 2006
In SUPPORT of SB 06-134- Eliminate Asset Test in Colorado Works Program: The Bell finds that Senate Bill 06-134 promotes opportunity by allowing TANF recipients to accumulate more assets thus helping them move toward economic self sufficiency. Presented to: House Business Affairs and Labor Committee	By Rich Jones Feb. 10, 2006
In SUPPORT of SB 06-046- P-16 Education System: We believe that this “P-16” approach holds the promise of helping the state close its achievement gaps and prepare more students to go to and succeed in college. Presented to: Senate Education Committee	By Frank Waterous Feb. 1, 2006
