Colorado Democrats Introduce Latest Suite of Bills to Promote Affordable Housing
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis and Democratic lawmakers touted three bills on Wednesday that they say will make it easier to build affordable housing in the state, a continuation of a multi-year campaign to spur development and allow more housing types across the state.
“Fundamentally, it’s about the landscape of Colorado being one that, over the next several years, leads to a more livable and affordable one,” Polis said of the legislation.
In past years, Polis has signed bills that tweak land use codes in Colorado’s largest cities, encourage development near bus stops and train stations, and incentivize construction of housing like condominiums, modular homes and accessory dwelling units. The state’s demography office estimates that Colorado has a housing shortfall of about 106,000 units.

Third Car Theft Conviction Means Loss of Gun Rights Under New Colorado Law
People convicted of first-degree car theft in Colorado will be unable to have a firearm under a new law signed by Gov. Jared Polis on Monday.
House Bill 25-1171 adds the offense to the list of crimes covered by the Possession of Weapon by Previous Offender statute in the state. POWPO makes it illegal to own a firearm for people with one or more of the listed convictions on their record.
“From now on anyone convicted of first degree motor vehicle theft (is) ineligible to possess a firearm, keeping guns out of the wrong hands and protecting our communities,” Polis said in a statement. “I am proud of our work to improve public safety in Colorado, and with this bill signed into law, I look forward to continuing our bold progress to protect Coloradans and our communities.”
A person can be convicted of first-degree vehicle theft only after two other vehicle theft convictions.
The bill was sponsored by Reps. Shannon Bird of Westminster and Andrew Boesenecker of Fort Collins and Sens. Nick Hinrichsen of Pueblo and Dafna Michaelson Jenet of Commerce City, all Democrats. It passed the Legislature with bipartisan support.
