HB 17-1067

House Bill 17-1067 updates references in Colorado's laws to ensure that construction standards for accessible housing are based on the most current guidelines set by the International Code Council, rather than an outdated version from the American National Standards Institute. This change affects builders and developers who must follow these standards when constructing or modifying homes to be accessible for people with disabilities. Since the bill has been signed into law, it is now official and its provisions are in effect, meaning that all new construction of accessible housing must adhere to the updated international code council standards.

Official Summary

Statutory Revision Committee. The bill amends references to an out-of-date version of a standard, formerly promulgated by the American national standards institute but now promulgated by the international code council, that governs construction of accessible housing. (Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
