Fresh from her stunning defeat for trying to force all Coloradans to become organ donors, Sen. Lucia Guzman topped herself yesterday by introducing Senate Bill 75.
SB 75 will allow the state to regulate inflatable party equipment. That's right, whether you call them Bump-n-Jumps or Bouncy Castles, before you can put the finishing touches on arrangements for your six-year old's birthday party, Sen. Guzman wants to make sure that the state has approved your party inflatables.
According to the Colorado News Agency, Guzman is concerned that “there isn't any oversight of these devices” and her legislation would allow the Division of Oil and Public Safety to make sure that all Bump-n-Jumps are safe and sanitary.
We hope the Division will also make sure that they aren't too bouncy.
Senator Guzman is either incredibly politically tone deaf or we have mis-analyzed the importance of balloon regulation to Colorado's citizens.
We think SB 75 is the Stupidest Bill Ever (This Week).
Democrats lost the state house. Instead of focusing on the economy and jobs, they are busy looking for things to regulate while they search for ways to increase our fees. Enough is enough.
Just add this to the list of bills outlining a solution looking desperately for a problem.
Did I miss the part where letting bouncy castles self-regulate was suddenly a major issue?
I guess she didn’t learn anything from her organ donor bill fiasco. How on earth is this a priority? Is there anything Guzman thinks can function without regulation? Ridiculous.
The most important thing Colorado has to deal with now is bouncy castles??????? Dems need to get a reality check! How about tackling something slightly more important like…unemployment!?!?! Hey, let’s regulate clowns too to keep them from scaring little children!
Regulating clowns is just plain crazy. Its not like they are suggesting we tax plastic grocery bags or regulate leftover cooking oil … At least not THIS year!
