HB1084 replaced gender-specific language with gender-neutral language throughout Title 35 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, which governs agriculture and related matters.
The Colorado State Senate passed HB1084 on March 3, 2025 by a vote of 32 to 2. We have assigned pluses to the nays because despite being framed as merely technical or stylistic, this bill reflects the broader leftist push to inject ideological gender theory into state law. By replacing longstanding, biologically grounded language with gender-neutral terminology, the General Assembly is not simply modernizing statutes, but normalizing politically correct concepts that have little to do with agriculture and everything to do with cultural conformity. Such changes may appear harmless, yet they advance a pattern of virtue signaling that erodes clarity in law and opens the door to future regulatory and legal mischief, all without any demonstrated necessity or constitutional justification.
