DENVER — Colorado lawmakers continued their special session on Friday, advancing bills to limit corporate tax breaks as they work to address a $783 million budget gap.

They also advanced non-budget-related bills, including a measure to shore up funding for the SNAP food program.

The Colorado House gave preliminary approval to HB25B-1001 on Friday, which would limit tax breaks for wealthy business owners. It also gave preliminary approval to HB25B-1002 , which aims to crack down on corporations that try to avoid paying state taxes.

"This bill closes the loopholes that let corporations dodge Colorado taxes by shifting profits overseas or by claiming special federal deductions that don't benefit our state,” said State Rep. Yara Zokaie, one of the sponsors of HB25B-1002.
