"Gov. Polis signs multiple bills into law to protect Coloradans' rights and finances."
Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed House Bill 1255, which prohibits local governments from imposing population and residential growth limits, and repeals existing growth caps in Lakewood, Boulder, and Golden. The bill aims to address the availability of housing by stripping local governments’ ability to limit how much new housing can be added to their communities. The bill will require that local governments at least have a hearing for new developments before deciding whether to reject them. The Colorado Municipal League viewed House Bill 1255 as an attack on local control, while supporters argue it will encourage more affordable housing.
