2012 Weekly General Narrative 5-6
Only three days remain in the 2012 session, and long nights Monday and Tuesday are on the table especially in the Colorado Senate, which continues to have a long calendar to clear.
This past week resolution was reached between the health care community and the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association on their issues with HB 1300, the extension of peer review in Colorado hospitals and other faculties. As a result, Colorado will avoid joining the two other states that don't provide a privilege for hospital programs that analyze care quality. The concession for passage was reopening hospitals to liability for negligent credentialing, giving privileges to physicians who commit malpractice.
HB 1361, a compromise proposal for assisting victims of the recent wildfire in Jefferson County, was introduced this week. It succeeds HB 1352, introduced last week, which the Attorney General sharply criticized.
Compromise was also reached on SB 174, which will create a pilot program for Denver to conduct property tax valuation appeals during the 2013 appraisal.
Look for our summary analysis of the 2012 session next week.
