Colorado legislators in 2024 made substantial progress in reducing childhood poverty. The legislature dedicated nearly $700 million to a program that allows families with low and medium incomes to claim a new tax credit of up to $3,200 per child. Supporters say the initiative could bring about a major reduction in child poverty in the state. But that wasn’t all that happened in the 2024 session.
Colorado legislators tackled a host of health issues in 2024, from poverty to alcohol abuse to gun violence and more. Marianne Goodland of Colorado Politics and Bente Birkeland of Colorado Public Radio participated in a panel discussion following CHI's overview of health and social policy news from the 2024 session.
