The vaccination language received a good deal of attention from critics who said its inclusion sent the wrong message at a time when Colorado ranks 45th in the nation on vaccination rates for children 19-35 months old.

Sen. Vicki Marble, a GOP leader from Fort Collins, said opponents of the bill in an earlier committee “demonized parents.”

“It was as if they were almost going to outlaw parenting,” she said. “Support the bill to get the kids back in the family and out of the government.”
