Bill Summary

(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced and does not reflect any amendments that may be subsequently adopted. If this bill passes third reading in the house of introduction, a bill summary that applies to the reengrossed version of this bill will be available at http://leg.colorado.gov.)

The bill provides that after the state housing board (board) adopts rules about any activity required to undertake or complete the construction or installation of a factory-built nonresidential structure, a factory-built residential structure, or a factory-built tiny home (factory-built structure), the state plumbing board, the state electrical board, and the state fire suppression administrator do not have jurisdiction over and their rules do not apply to a factory-built structure.

On or before July 1, 2026, the advisory committee on factory-built structures (advisory committee) is required to develop regional building codes for factory-built structures and implementation requirements and submit the recommended codes to the board.

On or before July 1, 2026, the board must adopt rules:

• Implementing regional building code recommendations from the advisory committee that account for local climatic and geographic conditions for the construction and installation of factory-built structures, which supersede any conflicting ordinance, code, regulation, or other law of a local government unless the local government adopts the rules of the board;
• Covering the implementation requirements developed by the advisory committee, including authorizing a local government certified by the division of housing (division) to perform inspections of factory-built structures on behalf of the division and registration, responsibility, and accountability requirements for a manufacturer, installer, seller, or general contractor who develops the installation site or completes the construction of a factory-built structure at the installation site;
• Covering electrical, plumbing, or fire suppression activity required to undertake or complete the construction or installation of a factory-built structure;
• Allowing the division to contract for third-party review and approval of a final design plan for a factory-built structure on behalf of the division;
• Allowing the division to create a process for vetting and approving the ability of a third party to review and approve a final design plan for a factory-built structure on behalf of the division; and
• Requiring the division to cause an audit to be performed on a third party that reviews and approves design plans.
• Enact a regulation that excludes factory-built structures and manufactured homes from the county or municipality;
• Impose more restrictive standards on factory-built structures and manufactured homes than those that the county or municipality applies to site-built homes in the same residential zones in the county or municipality; or
• Enact or enforce a regulation, law, or ordinance affecting the installation or construction of a factory-built structure or manufactured home.
• Enact land use regulations to the extent that the regulations are applicable to existing housing or structures or new site-built housing in the county or municipality; and
• Enact a building code provision for unique public safety requirements unless the provision applies to a factory-built structure or manufactured home.

On or before July 1, 2026, the advisory committee is required to conduct a study on behalf of the division about whether the international building code or residential code standards that apply to site requirements should be incorporated into state statutes and rules and to determine whether the state should regulate non-factory-built components that are connected to a factory-built structure at the installation site and are currently under local jurisdiction. The division is required to deliver the study to the board when complete.

A county or municipality may not:

A county or municipality may:

A county or municipality must comply with the requirements established by the division for factory-built structures and by the United States department of housing and urban development for manufactured homes. The bill requires the state treasurer to transfer $600,000 on July 1, 2025, from the innovative housing incentive program fund to the building regulation fund.

• This Unofficial Version Includes Committee

• Amendments Not Yet Adopted on Second Reading

• Page 3, Line 1Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:

• Page 3, Line 2SECTION 1.  Legislative declaration. (1)  The general assembly finds and declares that:

• Page 3, Line 3(a)  Coloradans are overwhelmingly burdened with the cost of housing;

• Page 3, Line 4(b)  Forty-five percent of renters, 329,000 residents, spend more than 30% of their income on rent;

• Page 3, Line 5(c)  A household in Colorado must earn at least $70,840 annually to afford the median rent of $1,771 without being cost-burdened;

• Page 3, Line 6(d)  To purchase a median-priced home, which is $550,300, with

• Page 3, Line 7a 20% down payment, and avoid being cost-burdened, a household must earn $129,178 annually;

• Page 4, Line 1(e)  The average cost of construction of a new home as of

• Page 4, Line 2November 2024 was approximately $483,000, which is an increase from $419,000 in 2023;

• Page 4, Line 3(f)  In 2021, the general assembly enacted House Bill 21-1329,

• Page 4, Line 4which directed the executive committee of the legislative council to create

• Page 4, Line 5a task force to meet during 2021 and issue a report with recommendations

• Page 4, Line 6to the general assembly and the governor on policies to create transformative changes in the area of housing;

• Page 4, Line 7(g)  In 2022, the general assembly enacted House Bill 22-1282,

• Page 4, Line 8which authorized investment in companies pursuing innovative

• Page 4, Line 9construction methods, resulting in the establishment of the innovative housing incentive program;

• Page 4, Line 10(h)  Innovative housing incentive program investments are

• Page 4, Line 11intended to create new housing units, which lower housing costs and encourage innovation; and

• Page 4, Line 12(i)  Off-site construction partners participating in the innovative

• Page 4, Line 13housing incentive program, including modular manufacturers, have

• Page 4, Line 14expressed concerns that regulatory barriers are preventing intended

• Page 4, Line 15growth in housing units, reducing the cost and time-saving potential of off-site construction.

• Page 4, Line 16(2)  Therefore, the general assembly further finds and declares that

• Page 4, Line 17it seeks to address the shortage and cost of housing by enacting regional

• Page 4, Line 18standards for factory-built structures, rather than standards related to a

• Page 4, Line 19specific address, which will increase the supply of housing and lower

• Page 4, Line 20housing costs by lowering the cost of factory-built housing construction

• Page 4, Line 21and encouraging partners to take advantage of the economies of scale afforded through factory-built construction.
