Construction-defects bill advances from House committee
DENVER — A bill that would reform Colorado’s construction-defects law has advanced in a legislative committee.
The Denver Post reports that House Bill 1279 received unanimous support from the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee, passing 8-0. The measure requires support from a majority of homeowners in a condominium project before legal action can be taken against a condo builder due for construction defects.
Other bills that would require arbitration or deal with insurance cost controls face a less-certain future in the Legislature.
