The Colorado legislature is set to finish this year\u2019s regular session by the end of the day Wednesday. Lawmakers will spend the last day taking final votes, toasting each other and celebrating-slash-exhaling after 120 days of work.<\/p>\n

1:39 p.m. update:<\/strong> The Senate killed a bill that would mimic federal workplace protections at the state level when six Democrats joined Republicans in opposition.<\/p>\n

House Bill 1054 would have enshrined federal standards from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration in state law. Worker safety advocates said it was necessary in the face of likely rollbacks of worker protections under the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

The bill died a rare death on the formal third-reading vote. None of the Democrats who voted against the bill \u2014 Sens. Judy Amabile, Matt Ball, Jeff Bridges, Lindsey Daugherty, Kyle Mullica and Marc Snyder \u2014 spoke from the floor about their opposition either before the formal vote or during debate last week.<\/p>\n
