Controversy
A bill that would require each pet - even goldfish - in the state to be registered for a fee was introduced as HB24-1163[9] by English and was featured[10] on the YouTube channel "Lehto's Law". According to Professor Lehto, the bill was not expected to clear committee.
Same-sex marriage vote
During 2024, Regina English was the only Democrat member to have voted no and against same-sex marriage within the chamber - on a resolution (SCR3) to repeal and remove the “defunct and unconstitutional” 2006 ban on same-sex marriage, effecting the Constitution of Colorado. SCR3 eventually passed both houses of the Colorado Legislature by a 2/3rds super-majority and will be on the ballot for voters to decide in November.[11]
