DENVER/AURORA - On May 12, 2025, Governor Polis continued the 2025 bill signing tour, signing new laws to lower costs, and build a Colorado for all. 

The Governor signed a landmark housing bill, HB25-1272 - Construction Defects & Middle Market Housing, sponsored by Representatives Bird and Boesenecker, Senate President Coleman and Senator Roberts, which addresses construction defects challenges and breaks down barriers that prevented more condos from being built in Colorado. Condos are a historically more affordable option for Coloradans to purchase, and this new law builds on Governor Polis’s efforts to reduce housing costs for Coloradans and help more Coloradans build wealth through home ownership. Read the Governor’s signing statement. 

“This new law will lead to thousands of new condos being built across our state.. By breaking down the barriers that prevented new condos from being built, we are unlocking new, more accessible housing for Coloradans to buy as a starter home. I thank the bill sponsors for their work on this legislation and look forward to seeing the positive impact on Coloradans,” said Governor Jared Polis. 

Governor Polis called for reforming construction liability in his State of the State Address this past January. Governor Polis also signed SB25-001 - Colorado Voting Rights Act, sponsored by Senator Gonzales and Representatives Bacon and Joseph, to further secure Colorado’s already gold-standard elections system. Colorado is a model for the nation when it comes to voting and elections, and this new law enshrines the state’s systems to ensure that Coloradans can continue to make their voices heard conveniently and securely. 

“Colorado has set a high bar for elections and we are proud of our efforts to ensure that every Coloradan can vote easily and securely to make their voices heard. This legislation strengthens election integrity for Colorado and I appreciate the sponsors for their work on this bill,” said Governor Jared Polis.
