House Bill 25-1055

Repeal Firearm Dealer Requirements & State Permit

Rep. Max Brooks - Prime Sponsor

HB25-1055 simplifies regulations for firearms dealers by removing unnecessary state-level requirements, such as a state permit and duplicate background checks. This bill reduces costs and administrative burdens while maintaining federal oversight to ensure public safety. Testifying in support of this bill helps create a more efficient system that focuses on practical regulations without extra bureaucracy.

This bill will be heard in the Business Affairs and Labor Committee on

House Bill 25-1051

Repeal Recycled Paper Carryout Bag Fee

Reps. Pugliese and Gonzalez - Prime Sponsor

HB25-1051 will repeal the 10-cent fee charged for recycled paper carryout bags, easing the burden on Colorado families, especially those with lower incomes, the elderly, and disabled individuals. By eliminating this fee, the bill restores choice for consumers and removes a regressive tax that unfairly impacts those already struggling. It also helps simplify the system, allowing consumers to make the best decision for their needs without added costs. Supporting this bill will make life more affordable and fair for all Coloradans.

House Bill 25-1092

Rent Increases by Landlord to Tenant

Rep. Ty Winter - Prime Sponsor

HB25-1092 ensures fairness for property owners by allowing them to justify rent increases based on fair market value or tenant willingness. Current law lacks clarity, leaving landlords vulnerable to false claims of retaliation or discrimination. This bill provides legal protections and balance, ensuring that legitimate rent adjustments are not unfairly penalized. Supporting this bill helps create a fair and transparent rental market for both landlords and tenants.

This bill will be heard in the Transportation, Housing, and Local Government Committee on

House Bill 25-1009

Vegetative Fuel Mitigation

HB25-1009 is just another example of nickel-and-diming property owners by adding more fees. It allows fire and metropolitan districts to fine homeowners for not removing vegetative fuel, creating the potential for overreach and neighbor disputes. With unclear guidelines, the bill leaves property owners vulnerable to fines that could exceed the cost of mitigation and even result in liens. The appeal process is stacked against them, as they must challenge fines before the same board that issued them. There are better ways to encourage fire mitigation without putting more financial burdens on homeowners.

This bill will be heard in the Agriculture, Water, and Natural Resources Committee on

Monday, February 3

at 1:30 PM.

House Bill 25-1044

Local Funding for Vulnerable Road User Protection

HB25-1044 lets local governments impose new vehicle fees based on weight, nickel and diming Coloradans at every turn. It lacks accountability, follows failed safety strategies, and adds unnecessary costs for families and businesses. Testify against this costly overreach!
