My Bills

HB26-1007: Improve Customer Use of Distributed Energy — This law removes the red tape that has prevented Colorado homeowners and renters from installing solar panels and connecting clean energy resources to the grid; prohibiting utilities from requiring pre-approval for portable solar devices and ensuring that customer-owned meter collar adapters are allowed statewide, putting more clean, affordable energy in the hands of the people.

HB26-1052: Rights for Victims of Certain Crimes — This bipartisan law strengthened Colorado's Victim Rights Act, expanding and clarifying the legal protections and procedural rights afforded to victims of crime, ensuring that survivors are informed, heard, and supported throughout the criminal justice process.

HB26-1066:Tax Exemptions of Low-Income Rental — Affordable rental housing is desperately needed across Colorado, and this bill sought to incentivize its development by expanding property tax exemptions to include affordable rental housing projects. While the bill did not pass this session, it reflects Rebekah's ongoing fight to make housing affordability a reality for renters who need it most.

HB26-1100: Guardianship for Incapacitated Adults — When someone can no longer make decisions for themselves, the people stepping in to help them deserve a legal framework that is clear, fair, and centered on the individual's dignity. This law updated Colorado's guardianship statutes to better protect the rights and wellbeing of incapacitated adults, ensuring that the guardianship process works for the people it's meant to serve.

HB26-1228: Marriage & Family Therapy Clinical Requirements — Colorado faces a serious mental health workforce shortage, and unnecessary barriers to licensure are making it worse. This bipartisan law updated the clinical requirements for becoming a licensed marriage and family therapist, reducing outdated obstacles to licensure so that more qualified therapists can serve Coloradans who are struggling and need support.

HB26-1262: Patient Access to Compounded Medical Items — When patients need medications that aren't commercially available, often because of allergies, dosage needs, or limited supply, compounded medications can be a lifeline. This bipartisan law preserved Colorado patients' access to compounded medical items, protecting the doctor-patient relationship and ensuring that people can get the treatments they need.

HB26-1313: Adjust Requirements for Statewide Affordable Housing Fund — Colorado's statewide affordable housing fund is one of our most powerful tools for creating housing that working families can actually afford — but overly rigid requirements have made it harder for local governments to access the money.

SB26-097: Decriminalize Adult Commercial Sexual Activity — This bill sought to decriminalize commercial sexual activity between consenting adults, recognizing that criminalization often puts vulnerable people at greater risk of harm rather than protecting them.
