Colorado: Civil unions bill one vote from becoming law

SB-11, the Civil Unions bill, passed in the state House Appropriations Committee today by a vote of 9-4.

This sends the bill to the full House for it's final vote.

The Senate passed the bill on February 11, and Governor John Hickenlooper says he will sign the bill into law should it pass in the House.

According to a recent poll, 70 percent of Coloradans support the legislation.
