HB 23-1127

House Bill 23-1127, also known as the Customer's Right To Use Energy, stops government entities and homeowner associations in Colorado from restricting people’s use of natural gas, propane, solar panels, small wind turbines, or small hydroelectric systems for home energy needs like heating, cooling, cooking, and water heating. This means that no matter where you live in Colorado, these energy sources are available to everyone without interference from local regulations or community rules. Since the bill has been signed into law, it is now enforceable statewide.
