On January 1, 2026, a slate of consumer protection legislation goes into effect to crack down on surprise junk fees and increase access to stable housing for renters. < Back December 15, 2025 Bills to Increase Price Transparency, Protect Colorado Renters and Consumers Go Into Effect On January 1, 2026, a slate of consumer protection legislation goes into effect to crack down on surprise junk fees and increase access to stable housing for renters. HB25-1090 , sponsored by Representatives Emily Sirota, D-Denver and Naquetta Ricks, D-Aurora, and Senate Assistant Majority Leader Lisa Cutter, D-Jefferson County, and Senator Mike Weissman, D-Aurora, cracks down on ‘junk fees’ and requires price transparency. “Unexpected, undisclosed fees cost consumers hundreds of dollars every month,” said Cutter. “These ‘junk fees’ can make informed budgeting decisions feel impossible for consumers. This law will increase transparency for consumers, helping them make informed purchase decisions and ultimately save more of their hard-earned money.” “Hidden ‘junk fees’ often add up to hundreds of dollars in monthly expenses for Coloradans, and this new law cracks down on these surprise costs to save people money,” said Sirota. “Whatever the ‘junk fee’ is disguised as, the goal is to hike up prices and drain money out of the pockets of hardworking Coloradans to increase corporate profits. We’re putting an end to junk fees, so Coloradans know the upfront cost of products, goods and services.” “Opaque or dishonest fees cost Americans up to $90 billion per year, taking an average of $650 annually out of the pockets of working families that could be better spent on household essentials like health care and child care,” said Weissman. “Honest, upfront business owners deserve a fair playing field and consumers deserve price transparency in order to make informed financial decisions.” “Junk fees are often not disclosed until a consumer is ready to check out or after they’ve paid a non-refundable security deposit, which means Coloradans end up paying higher prices than they are expecting,” said Ricks. “Addressing junk fees in our state has been one of my biggest priorities, and this law champions honest pricing so Coloradans can make buying decisions that fit their budget.” HB25-1090 standardizes transparent prices upfront, in many cases prohibiting pricing information from being advertised unless the final total price is disclosed. The law prohibits the misrepresentation of pricing information, requires the purpose of a fee that is not part of the total price to be disclosed, and restricts the fees landlords can charge for utilities and third-party services. To prevent excessive fee hikes, the law caps fee increases at 2 percent annually. HB25-1236 is sponsored by Senators Iman Jodeh, D-Aurora, and Weissman, and Representatives Mandy Lindsay, D-Aurora, and Yara Zokaie, D-Fort Collins. It specifies that a prospective renter who receives a housing subsidy cannot be required to include a credit history report, a credit score, or an adverse credit event in their tenant screening reports. “This law is just another step to making Colorado a more affordable, accessible, and equitable place to live and rent,” said Jodeh. “It’s part of our commitment to supporting women, people of color, and low-income Coloradans who have a weak or nonexistent credit history as they secure safe housing for themselves and their families.” “Our new law, going into effect in the new year, will make the process of home hunting more affordable for Colorado renters,” said Lindsay. “Colorado Democrats are committed to protecting renters and making Colorado a more affordable place to live. This law saves renters money on application fees and helps low-income renters find safe and stable housing.” “Renters who are already struggling should not be forced to reveal irrelevant information to potential landlords and blow their budgets on application fees before they’re even approved,” said Weissman. “This legislation would make safe and stable housing for low-income renters more accessible and affordable by protecting their personal information and limiting duplicative fees.” “This law supports Coloradans who have no credit score or a weakened credit history by helping them secure safe and affordable housing without paying duplicative fees,” said Zokaie. “Searching for housing shouldn't be expensive. With this new law, we’re allowing tenants to receive and share their screening reports and expanding protections for Coloradans on housing subsidies." The law also removes a requirement that screening reports be given directly to landlords from reporting agencies, since reporting agencies are often unable to do so. SB25-079 , sponsored by Senator Dylan Roberts, D-Frisco, and Representative Jamie Jackson, D-Aurora, also goes into effect January 1, 2026. The law protects Coloradans from scams involving cryptocurrency kiosks which target the elderly and other vulnerable populations. The bill requires an owner or operator of a virtual currency kiosk to list certain disclosures, provide an electronic receipt, and fully refund a customer’s first transaction if it is international and determined by law enforcement to be fraudulent. The law also establishes a maximum transaction limit of $2,000 per day for new customers and $10,500 for existing customers. Previous Next

Bill would reinstate and expand critical wetlands protections jeopardized by the Sackett v. EPA decision < Back April 29, 2024 Legislation to Protect Streams, Rivers and Wetlands Passes House DENVER, CO – The House today passed legislation to restore critical protections for Colorado’s streams, rivers and wetlands. “After the Supreme Court removed important protections and left our waterways in jeopardy, we knew we must take action now to secure Colorado’s water future,” said Speaker Julie McCluskie, D-Dillon. “With the passage of this bill, we’re one step closer to a Colorado-specific approach to protecting our streams, rivers and wetlands. From brewing beer to sustaining our livestock and crops – fresh, clean water is at the core of nearly every industry in Colorado. This bill protects our state’s water supply now and into the future so generations to come can experience the Colorado way of life we all hold dear.” “Protecting our freshwater resources now means future generations can thrive in Colorado knowing they have clean and accessible water,” said Rep. Karen McCormick, D-Longmont. “A 2023 Supreme Court decision rolled back crucial water protections and we need legislation that helps effectively manage and protect our wetlands, rivers and streams. Our bill would outline regulatory certainty for our businesses, landowners and agriculture industry when it comes to Colorado’s water. Colorado’s water is a steady and vital resource that must be conserved and protected for generations to come, and this bill protects what we all find essential.” The Clean Water Act authorizes the EPA to define “Waters of the United States” and the Army Corps of Engineers to regulate discharges from dredge and fill activities into waters that meet that definition. The U.S. Supreme Court decision in Sackett v. EPA in 2023 redefined what constitutes waters subject to federal regulation and placed an estimated 60 percent of Colorado wetlands at risk of losing protections. The impacted wetlands and seasonal streams in need of protection work to ensure adequate water supply, aid groundwater recharge, and provide for wildlife habitat in Colorado. HB24-1379 , passed the Hous e by a vote of 43 to 20 and works to protect Colorado waters that are no longer federally protected. The bill would create a permitting program within the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment for dredge and fill activities impacting state waters. The permitting framework is based on well-established approaches already used by the Army Corps of Engineers and will provide clarity and certainty on when a permit is needed for dredge and fill activities. Normal farming, ranching, and agricultural activities, such as plowing, farm road construction, ditch maintenance, and erosion control practices would not require a permit. Until the recent decision in Sackett v. EPA , the Army Corps’ permitting program safeguarded the vast majority of Colorado’s state waters from pollution caused by dredge and fill activities. Dredge and fill activities involve digging up or placing dirt and other fill material into wetlands or surface waters as part of construction projects. These operations are necessary in many infrastructure projects including roads, bridges, housing developments, flood mitigation, and utility pipelines. This legislation provides a way for these projects to move forward while protecting Colorado’s water resources. Previous Next

Governor Jared Polis today signed a bipartisan bill into law to help reduce the number of stolen guns in Colorado communities by increasing the penalty for certain firearm thefts. < Back June 2, 2025 Gov Signs Duran, Hinrichsen Bill to Crack Down on Gun Theft DENVER, CO - Governor Jared Polis today signed a bipartisan bill into law to help reduce the number of stolen guns in Colorado communities by increasing the penalty for certain firearm thefts. “Whether a gun costs $100 or $10,000, it can cause tragic, irreversible loss, and the penalty for firearm theft should be the same across the board,” said Majority Leader Monica Duran, D-Wheat Ridge. “Colorado Democrats have passed numerous bills to prevent firearms from getting into the wrong hands, but firearm theft acts as a loophole to these gun violence prevention measures and threatens the safety of our communities. Our bipartisan law ensures that the price of the weapon does not dictate the penalty of the crime, helping drive down gun violence and address the epidemic of firearm theft.” “One of my top priorities as an elected official has been to pass legislation that ensures every Coloradan can live in a safe and thriving community,” said Senator Nick Hinrichsen, D-Pueblo. “Firearm theft of any kind increases the risk of violent crime for everyone, and we must do more to prevent such crimes before they occur. This bipartisan policy has been a multi-year effort, and I’m proud that this year we were able to get it across the finish line and see HB1062 signed into law.” Currently, the penalty for firearm theft can range from a petty offense to a class 2 felony, depending on the value of the stolen firearm. HB25-1062 , also sponsored by Representative Ryan Armagost, R-Berthoud, and Senator Byron Pelton, R-Sterling, will make theft of any firearm a class 6 felony. Over 3,500 firearms were stolen in Colorado between 2019 and 2023. It is reported that 70-percent of those firearms were recovered, and criminal charges were filed.Colorado Democrats have passed numerous laws to keep firearms out of the wrong hands, including laws to require gun owners to report when their firearm has been lost or stolen and properly store their firearms when not in use, including in their vehicles . The legislature also cracked down on “ghost guns” to keep unregulated, untraceable firearms out of our communities. This year, Colorado Democrats passed a law to help firearm dealers identify firearms that have been reported lost or stolen or involved in a criminal investigation. Previous Next

< Back December 10, 2020 BENAVIDEZ APPOINTED SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE DENVER, CO — Speaker-designate Alec Garnett today announced his appointment of Rep. Adrienne Benavidez to the role of Speaker Pro Tempore. “Adrienne Benavidez is a dedicated public servant and a proven leader who will make an excellent Speaker Pro Tempore,” said Speaker-designate Alec Garnett, D-Denver. “As our caucus Co-Whip and a prominent member of the Judiciary Committee, Rep. Benavidez has again and again demonstrated her commitment to our caucus and the Colorado values we fight for at the Capitol. I’m proud and excited to have Adrienne on our already stellar leadership team as we work to build back a stronger Colorado.” “I’m proud and humbled to be chosen for the role of Speaker Pro Tempore,” said Rep.

As we work to rebuild and reinvigorate our state, I’m dedicated to creating a more equitable economy and advancing the cause of justice in our communities.” Rep. Benavidez will be serving her third term in the state legislature and will continue to serve on the House Judiciary and Finance committees. She represents House District 32, which includes Commerce City and parts of unincorporated Adams County. The Speaker Pro Tempore presides over the House when the Speaker is absent. One of the only leadership positions not elected by the majority caucus, the Speaker Pro Tempore is appointed by the Speaker. Previous Next

< Back February 11, 2020 ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE LEGISLATION MOVES FORWARD Bill would hold corporate polluters accountable and give affected communities a voice DENVER, CO — Representatives Dominique Jackson and Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez’s bill, HB20-1143 , today was approved by the House Energy and Environment Committee. The bill would move Colorado closer to guaranteeing environmental justice by increasing air and water violation fines to the level of those imposed by the federal government and creating an advisory committee made up of individuals from the communities impacted these violations. The advisory committee would then direct the funds generated by this legislation towards environmental mitigation efforts, which would seek to minimize or avoid the adverse effects of an air or water quality violation. The committee approved the bill by a vote of 7-4. “For far too long, big, corporate polluters have been infringing on the rights of Coloradans to enjoy clean air and water,” said Rep. Jackson (D-Aurora). “Today we’re making progress towards changing that. A broad coalition of advocates and organizations played a part in making this bill a reality. From the beginning, our objective has been simple: we set out to hold corporate polluters accountable and give communities affected by their pollution a say in how they will be made whole. I’m glad that the committee supported this mission today.” “It’s just common sense: if a corporation recklessly pollutes your backyard, you should get to decide what will be done to repair the damage,” said Rep. Gonzales-Gutierrez (D-Denver) . “Making corporations pay the price when they pollute our Colorado air and water while giving a voice to those who have been wronged is environmental justice, plain and simple. I’m proud to see this bill move forward today.” HB20-1143 raises daily state fines for air and water violations to the federal level, which is a little over $47,000. Currently, state fines are $15,000 a day for air violations and $10,000 a day for water violations. Additionally, the bill sets up an advisory committee made up of people impacted by the air and water violations, and that committee would be responsible for directing the money collected by the fines towards environmental mitigation projects.

Legislation would ban weapons of war to save lives in Colorado < Back March 20, 2024 Assault Weapon Ban Passes House Committee Legislation would ban weapons of war to save lives in Colorado DENVER, CO - The House Judiciary Committee today passed gun violence prevention legislation sponsored by Representatives Tim Hernández and Elisabeth Epps to prohibit the manufacture, import, purchase, or sale of assault weapons and rapid-fire trigger activators. HB24-1292 passed by a vote of 7-3. “The vast majority of Americans and over 80% of Democrats support an assault weapons ban and are fed up with weapons of war in our communities,” said Rep. Tim Hernández, D-Denver. “My entire childhood, I was afraid to die in school because adults wouldn’t be bold enough on guns, and those fears only grew when I became a teacher and I saw my students struggle with those same anxieties. We must take action to protect our communities, especially our students, from the death and destruction assault weapons inflict on so many innocent people.” "HB24-1292 will stem the proliferation of firearms most commonly used in public mass shootings, and takes a powerful step to interrupt the uniquely American epidemic of gun violence," said Rep. Elisabeth Epps, D-Denver. "Colorado is home to too many now infamous sites - schools, theaters, nightclubs, clinics, grocery stores - places now forever associated with mass shootings. Prohibiting assault weapon sales is a necessary step to prevent more tragedies; lessening the spread of these weapons is overdue policy change, not just more thoughts and prayers." Beginning July 1, 2024, HB24-1292 would prohibit the manufacture, import, purchase, or sale of assault weapons and rapid-fire trigger activators. A violation would be a petty offense. Exceptions include: U.S. military members, peace officers, or other government officers or agents, The manufacture, sale, or transfer of an assault weapon from a licensed firearms manufacturer to the U.S. military or entity that employs peace officers, Transfer of an assault weapon to a licensed firearms dealer or gunsmith for temporary maintenance, repair, modification, storage, or permanent disposal. Any federal, state, or local historical society, museum, or institutional collection that is open to the public, as long as the assault weapon is securely housed and unloaded A forensic laboratory or an agent or employee of the laboratory while on duty Armored vehicle entities and their employees, or A licensed gun dealer who has a remaining inventory of assault weapons as of August 1, 2024, and sells or transfers the remaining inventory only to a non-Colorado resident and the sale or transfer takes place out of the state. A study found that over 60 percent of Americans support an assault weapons ban. From 2010-2019, assault weapons were used in 34 percent of mass public shootings. Since 2020, that number has increased to 60 percent . Assault weapons have been used in numerous mass shootings including the Uvalde shooting, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, and the Pulse nightclub shooting. The gunman in the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, had multiple guns in his hotel room, including semi-automatic firearms with bump stocks that converted the weapon into a fully automatic firearm. He was able to fire between 400-800 rounds per minute , killing 59 people and wounding hundreds. An AR-15 assault rifle was used in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, killing 20 students and six staff members. There, the shooter fired 154 bullets in less than four minutes . In the Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs, a semi-automatic rifle was used to kill five people and injure 19 others. If signed into law, Colorado will join California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Washington in passing an assault weapons ban.

< Back March 17, 2021 U VISA CERTIFICATION BILL PASSES DENVER, CO– The House today advanced Representative Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez and Iman Jodeh’s bill to standardize statewide protocols for U Visa certifications and ensure that all victims in Colorado eligible for the visa are treated fairly passed the House on third reading by a vote of 41-23. “The U Visa was created by Congress to promote safe communities and cooperation between immigrant victims of crime and law enforcement,” said Rep. Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez, D-Denver . “Unfortunately, confusion and delays in the process have left already vulnerable victims of crime in perilous and uncertain circumstances. This simple bill would streamline the process to make sure that eligible immigrants get the timely answers and peace of mind they deserve.” “Between their status as crime victims and the requirement that they cooperate with law enforcement when they may be reluctant to, U Visa eligible immigrants are among the most vulnerable among us,” said Rep. Iman Jodeh, D-Aurora. “The least we can do is make sure they aren’t left in the dark by providing them a timely answer on their certification form. This bill will achieve just that.” The U Visa was created for victims of certain crimes who have suffered harm and are being helpful to law enforcement in the investigation of the crime. To apply for a U Visa, an immigrant victim needs certification forms signed by law enforcement verifying they meet requirements. Currently, law enforcement jurisdictions have broad discretion in handling these requests with few reporting requirements or deadlines to respond to requests. This has resulted in some agencies simply not responding, or very delayed response times, and a general lack of clarity, leaving applicants in a state of increased insecurity and vulnerability. HB21-1060 would streamline the application process and set time limits for certifying agencies to either sign or decline to sign the U Visa certification form. The bill would also set additional protections regarding the disclosure of the personal information of immigrants, and would request that annual reports be presented. Finally, the bill also requires that information regarding the U Visa be provided to victims of qualifying crimes. Previous Next

< Back February 18, 2022 REASONABLE INDEPENDENCE FOR CHILDREN BILL PASSES HOUSE DENVER, CO – Bipartisan legislation to foster youth independence in Colorado passed the House today on Third and Final Reading by a unanimous vote. HB22-1090, sponsored by Representatives Mary Young and Kim Ransom, would tighten the definition of child neglect giving kids reasonable independence to walk to school, ride their bikes and play in their neighborhood without adult supervision. “We’re working diligently to foster everyday independence for Colorado’s youth and this bill is a wonderful step in the right direction,” said Rep. Mary Young D-Greeley. “This bill makes it clear that there is no need to get the authorities involved when kids are out and about in their neighborhood, walking to school or playing on the playground. When youth are given independence they grow, learn and thrive and we’re pleased to pass legislation that empowers their right to independence.” HB22-1090 passed out of the House Public & Behavioral Health & Human Services unanimously and would tighten Colorado’s broad definition of neglect to exclude everyday activities deemed as reasonable independence that formerly would be constructed as neglect or abuse. This bill also aims to cut back on the amount of unnecessary involvement from child protective services and law enforcement officials. Colorado’s vague definition of neglect has left some parents worried that allowing their kids to walk to school alone could be misconstrued as neglect or abuse. HB22-1090 would allow parents to make family decisions when their child is “of sufficient maturity, physical condition, and mental abilities to avoid substantial risk of physical harm” to participate in activities without their supervision. Examples of these reasonable independence activities include playing outside, traveling to and from sports practices and staying home alone for a reasonable amount of time. Previous Next

HB24-1436 will refer a ballot measure to Colorado voters to allow the state to keep and spend all sports betting tax revenue to fund water conservation and protection projects. < Back May 20, 2024 Bipartisan Water Conservation Bill Signed Into Law PAONIA, CO - Governor Jared Polis today signed a bipartisan water conservation bill into law. HB24-1436 will refer a ballot measure to Colorado voters to allow the state to keep and spend all sports betting tax revenue to fund water conservation and protection projects. “From agricultural use to recreation that drives our tourism economy, protecting Colorado’s waters is essential and will ensure its availability for generations to come,” said Speaker Julie McCluskie, D-Dillon. “We’re asking for a reaffirmed commitment from Colorado voters to fund our water conservation projects by keeping excess revenue from Colorado’s sports betting tax. I’m proud to carry this law to continue our bipartisan commitment to the future of water in Colorado.” “Water is Colorado’s most precious natural resource, because it powers everything we do, from agriculture to our outdoor recreation economy, which is why I am fighting tooth and nail to secure our state’s water future,” said Senator Dylan Roberts, D-Frisco. “Now, we’re giving Colorado voters an opportunity to join in the fight and allow sports betting revenue to fund critical water projects that will benefit communities across our state. I am proud of this bipartisan effort that will help protect our precious water resources and our Colorado way of life.” In 2019, Colorado voters approved Proposition DD, allowing the state to keep and spend $29 million of sports betting tax revenue per year for water conservation efforts. Current law requires any additional revenue above $29 million to be refunded to casinos and online sports betting entities. HB24-1436 , also sponsored by Senator Cleave Simpson, R-Alamosa, and Representative Marc Catlin, R-Montrose, will refer a ballot measure to Colorado voters to allow revenue above the $29 million cap to be transferred to the Water Plan Implementation Cash Fund. This fund supports water projects across the state, including water storage and supply, agricultural projects, and watershed health and recreation projects. Speaker McCluskie and Senator Roberts also sponsored legislation this session to restore critical protections for Colorado’s streams, rivers and wetlands for Colorado waters that are not federally protected.

< Back February 20, 2020 GET COVERED! HEALTH CARE EASY ENROLLMENT ADVANCES Bipartisan legislation would facilitate enrolment in health plans DENVER, CO– Representative Susan Lontine’s bipartisan bill to establish a program that would make it easier for health care consumers to find affordable health care coverage today was approved by the House Finance Committee by a vote of 8-2. This measure would help connect uninsured Coloradans to coverage options that they may have been unaware of or for which they may not have known they were eligible. “Over 400,000 Coloradans are currently uninsured, and we believe many of them are already eligible for some type of financial assistance whether they know it or not,” said Rep. Lontine, D-Denver . “Determining eligibility through the tax filing process is a great way to connect uninsured Coloradans with the health care coverage that best fits their needs. I will continue to work to make this proposal a reality.” HB20-1236 establishes a program that allows Colorado taxpayers to opt into allowing information about their uninsured household members to be evaluated for eligibility for certain affordable health insurance plans. Specifically, the program would allow individuals to indicate on the state income tax filings that they’d like the Colorado health benefit exchange (Connect for Health Colorado) to assess whether uninsured members of their household are eligible for free or subsidized health care coverage, such as the Advanced Premium Tax Credit or the state’s Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+). The bill would also create the affordable health care coverage easy enrollment advisory committee to guide implementation of the program and study the feasibility of automatic enrollment. According to the Colorado Health Institute, more than half of Coloradans who don’t have health insurance qualify for public health insurance programs or subsidies such as premium tax credits or cost sharing reductions. One of the key reasons people may not enroll in coverage is that they don’t know how. This bill would allow Connect for Health Colorado to reach out to these individuals, if they checked the box on their tax return, and help them obtain free or subsidized coverage. The number of Coloradans eligible for subsidies but that haven’t enrolled in coverage has not fallen in recent years. ### Previous Next

< Back April 8, 2022 HOUSE ADVANCES BEHAVIORAL HEALTH LEGISLATION Bills invests $35 million to integrate physical and behavioral health care DENVER, CO – The House today advanced legislation that will make transformational investments to increase access to behavioral health care by better integrating primary care and behavioral health care. “This session, we’re directing $450 million in federal funds to increase access to and save people money on behavioral health care,” said Rep.

The bill will provide grants to primary care practices to integrate behavioral health care into their clinical models, helping Coloradans access whole person care and early behavioral health interventions before a crisis. The transformational investment will increase access to mental health and substance use disorder screening and treatment and help coordinate referrals to other levels of care. Previous Next
