State Legislature Bills

Establishes expanded air-quality monitoring and public emissions reporting near major industrial and utility sources, while offering performance-based incentives for verified pollution reductions and retaining existing health and enforcement standards.

The bill broadly addresses statewide climate concerns by calling for clear standards, transparent reporting, and accountable implementation, but it provides no specific mandates, targets, costs, or enforcement mechanisms.

The bill offers competitive state grants, faster local review, and technical assistance for income-restricted workforce housing near transit and employment centers that meets clean-energy standards, while retaining local zoning authority and requiring annual performance reports.

This bill cracks down on illegal telemarketing and scam robocalls in Colorado by creating steep civil penalties, allowing consumers to sue, giving the Attorney General stronger enforcement tools, and requiring phone carriers to provide call authentication and free robocall blocking. It also creates a restitution fund for victims and mandates annual public reporting on enforcement and carrier compliance.

Colorado would speed up permitting for multifamily and mixed-use housing near transit, set statewide application timelines, and offer tax credits and infrastructure grants for energy-efficient, workforce, and adaptive-reuse projects while leaving local health and safety enforcement in place.

This bill speeds up permitting for smaller and denser housing types in high-cost Colorado metro areas, especially near transit and job centers, if projects meet energy and safety rules. It also gives state grants to cities that shorten permit timelines, allow modest density, and cut parking minimums, while tracking housing production and energy savings.

This bill creates a Community Stadium District to tie any publicly backed pro football venue to local economic benefits, including small-business contracting quotas, prevailing wage, local hiring, apprenticeship use, and protections against displacement. It also sets up a fund financed by ticket surcharges, sponsorship revenue, and capped tax-increment revenue to support in-district small businesses while barring public money from covering the team ownership’s private costs.

This bill would make computer science and STEM instruction a required part of Colorado’s K-8 core curriculum every year and require high school students to earn at least one coding-inclusive computer science credit to graduate. It aims to expand statewide tech education and make STEM skills a standard part of K-12 schooling.

This bill would require Colorado local governments to allow by-right moderate-density housing in transit corridors and activity centers, while speeding approval for projects that meet energy and water standards. It also creates a voluntary state fast-track certification program that rewards jurisdictions with compliant housing plans and timely permitting through priority for certain housing and infrastructure grants.

This bill would speed up approvals for mixed-income infill and transit-oriented housing in already-developed areas, while coordinating utilities and state agencies on grid upgrades for new multifamily housing. It also gives local governments technical help to modernize permitting and reduce delays, aiming to ease housing costs near jobs, schools, and transit.
