HB 25-1280

House Bill 25-1280 is a Colorado law that builds on previous legislation from 2021, which required the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to create rules for using advanced technology to detect leaks in gas pipelines. This bill sets a deadline of November 1, 2025, for the PUC to finalize these rules. The bill affects utility companies that manage gas pipeline systems and ensures they will have to use modern leak detection methods to improve safety. Since the bill has been signed into law, it is now active and the PUC must work towards implementing these new rules by the specified deadline.
