91.3% Of Colorado Lobbyists Back Capitol ID Card; Show Your Support

March 8, 2018

The Colorado Lobbyists Association recently surveyed Colorado lobbyists -- members and prospective members -- and found that a staggering 91.3% support Capitol ID Card legislation.

Nearly 74% of lobbyists report having to enter the Capitol complex 2-5 times daily -- a considerable inconvenience given occasionally long lines and repeat security scans. 

Lobbyists best like these aspects of a Capitol ID card program: It would require a CBI background check (65.12%); the ID card would have to be displayed for search bypass (62.79%); and it would require an application (58.14%).

Other statehouses nationally have similar card programs.

Lobbyists and others will wear sky-blue “Capitol Clear” badges (like the one published here) to express their support. The badges have arrived, and CLA members and prospective members can grab a supply of them beginning Friday, March 9.
