The Colorado Legislature just wrapped up for 2022. What went down?

Here are some of the big deal pollution and health bills passed this year:

Previously, Colorado had earned a “D” grade on debtor protections with levels far behind the modern cost of living. Learn more here: https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb22-086
  • State Grants Investments Local Affordable Housing. $160M in state investments in grants for nonprofits and local governments to grow housing supply, with a subfocus on rural and infill development. Learn more here: https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb22-1304
  • Loan Program Resident-owned Communities. Creates a revolving loan fund to help mobile home park owners interested in purchasing and operating their own parks – a growing movement in Colorado as mobile home rental rates grow. Learn more here: https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb22-160
