The Pueblo [CO] Chieftain: Photo ID bill receives initial House approval

"Utility bills no longer would stand as valid proof of residency to vote [in Colorado] under a bill hotly debated before receiving preliminary approval Monday in the House. The proposal, HB1003, would require voters to show a state-issued photo identification card in order to cast a ballot. ...
Republicans and Democrats both offered amendments. Republicans attached a provision that birth certificates would no longer be acceptable forms of identification to vote.
Next, the bill faces a final vote in the House."
