Statutory Definition Of Construction Defect

Plain-English Summary

AI-generated

Senate Bill 17-155 is a Colorado law that clearly defines what "construction defect" means in legal terms. It helps clarify when builders or contractors might be responsible for fixing problems with buildings after they are built. This affects homeowners and construction companies, as it sets clearer rules about who is accountable for issues found later on. Since the bill has been signed into law, these new definitions are now part of Colorado's official statutes and will guide how disputes over construction defects are handled in the state.

Official Summary

The bill separately defines and clarifies the term 'construction defect' in the 'Construction Defect Action Reform Act'. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
