Colorado Representatives Joe Neguse and Yadira Caraveo introduced the Federal Labs Modernization Act. This bill would invest in and modernize federal labs, including those located in Colorado’s Second District.
Assessments
Neguse materially acted on the promise during the term following his successful 2022 House campaign by sponsoring and introducing H.R. 4180, the Federal Labs Modernization Act of 2023, on June 15, 2023. The bill matched the promised subject matter: federal lab infrastructure reporting and modernization needs, including labs relevant to Colorado's 2nd District. However, Congress.gov shows the bill remained only introduced and referred to committee, with no passage or enacted modernization investment. That supports partial credit for advancing the legislation, not full delivery of the substantive outcome.
