Denver Post:
[Rep. Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver. ] . . bill, to be filed later this week, would give couples the option of dropping by their local county clerk’s office and filling out a check-off form stating which rights they want their partners to have.
It’s a benefit to same-sex couples, and Ferrandino expects a fight, but he said others would benefit as well . . .
Another bill sponsored by Ferrandino and Sen. Jennifer Veiga, D-Denver, would make domestic partners of state employees eligible for group benefits.
