Senator Julie Exum (sponsor in the Senate) described the bill as a measure to strengthen protections for homeowners who face foreclosure initiated by homeowners associations (HOAs). She said the bill would require clearer notices, annual reporting of delinquency and foreclosure actions by HOAs, and it would allow homeowners to request a sale‑delay period (nine months in committee discussion) to preserve equity while they attempt to sell the property.

HOA representatives and industry groups testified in an amend position and said they had worked with the bill sponsors to modify language. Lee Friedman of the Colorado Legislative Action Committee (representing the Community Association Institute) said associations wanted further technical fixes on attorney fees, the stay process and how strict compliance is defined. Ed Schoenheit, president of a large Colorado Springs HOA, said his community rarely forecloses but raised concerns about notification costs and the practical difficulty of reaching owners who change contact information. Molly Foley Healy urged adoption of amendments that limit the strict‑compliance requirement to lien and foreclosure laws and provide courts authority to issue stays that allow associations to come into compliance.

Homeowner advocates supported the bill’s stricter notice and court‑oversight provisions. Andrew Mowery, a homeowners’ advocate, argued that stricter compliance with statute and governing documents is necessary to prevent improper foreclosures and that litigation incentives can push attorneys toward foreclosures when compliance is lax.

The committee adopted amendment L012 (narrowing strict‑compliance language to lien and foreclosure provisions and providing judicial stays for compliance) and amendment L014 (clarifying notice methods and allowing regular U.S. mail when electronic/contact information is not provided). After debate, the committee advanced the bill on a recorded vote of 4 to 3.

Senator Axom thanked sponsors and stakeholders for negotiations; some committee members said they would continue to study remaining technical details before supporting similar bills in the future.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Senate Local Government & Housing [Mar 13, 2025]","oneSentenceSummary","House Bill 1043, which would change HOA notice and foreclosure procedures to protect homeowner equity and add a stay period to allow owners to sell, was amended in committee to narrow the strict-compliance standard and to broaden permissible notice methods; it passed out of committee 4–3.","taxTitle","Local Government & Housing, Standing Committees, Senate, Committees, Legislative, Colorado","taxId",43557,"location","Colorado","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6277139,"Committee amends and advances bill to create permissive, educational 'equestrian zones' statewide",6315,1023000,7338000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2657219-deb2b0b2cd13fb19bec61da7cfad6fce&start=1023&end=7338","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2657219-deb2b0b2cd13fb19bec61da7cfad6fce/thumbnail_1023000.jpg","/articles/6277139/Colorado/Committee-amends-and-advances-bill-to-create-permissive-educational-equestrian-zones-statewide","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6277139-5fb9e2d55c3e1d212c14fcb80bcc8014/orig.mp4?Expires=1770913273&Signature=YhuQtVCYFOSQ~FL5vegjuToImoM~~QCzNabyfBk-nKtjh0K0yQd6oatIbH2BU0jhl5BkGTnm3ZKB4jM1d22AB7jnoA-gHVSBTE0BqKAwfozERoxaw-qkQcq-Et~MXD5Zm59HApGmC2ngTpKucQKXukWEmHq2rzA4BCA8fzH~K1YTc9JBgERsllqh~qMp4HXtyT7deH1dslwRWDwBBl222ptGrjDkMSAoefTxpWKYVBg2oVF95O4k9Ku4ldcjjEpuZ1a9xcehES3oplWqs~1OhmnE4bFONELiwqphnkO4ek8vsvvyz3AovhuqkKrcDuO0beA5M3~Lx0uoRo5UBxqurw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Senate Local Government & Housing Committee on Thursday advanced Senate Bill 149 after substantial public testimony and stakeholder negotiations, adopting amendments that made the measure permissive and clarified that traffic provisions are educational guidance.

Senator Lindsey Daugherty (sponsor) told the committee the bill aims to provide a framework for defining equestrian zones, signage for crossings and trailer parking, and public education on best practices for shared road and trail use. She said the bill was reorganized in response to feedback and made permissive rather than mandatory.

The hearing drew extensive testimony from proponents including George Pratt, who described operating a long-standing boarding and training center in Arvada and urged better signage and ‘pass wide and slow’ education to reduce collisions; Dr. Caitlin Spack of the Arvada Area Horsemen's Association, who said the bill would help secure equestrian access as Colorado develops; and others who described therapeutic, economic and emergency-response benefits tied to local equestrian facilities.

Opponents and cautious stakeholders included the Associated Governments of Northwest Colorado and Colorado Counties Incorporated, who warned that a statewide mandate could impose unfunded obligations and reduce local control in sparsely populated counties. The Colorado Municipal League expressed appreciation for the sponsor’s amendments and asked that the bill preserve local flexibility. The Colorado State Patrol supported educational guidance but raised technical concerns about placing new guidance in Title 42 (traffic laws) without enforcement mechanisms, asking that the language remain clearly advisory so public expectations align with enforceable law.

Committee amendments adopted during the hearing (L004, L005 and L001) made the bill permissive, restructured road-use sections into an education component and clarified the definition of an equestrian zone. After the amendment phase, Chair Exum reported the sponsor’s willingness to continue discussing technical refinements with stakeholders.

Senator Snyder moved the bill to the committee of the whole with a favorable recommendation. The committee vote was 6 to 1 in favor; the record shows one committee member voted no. The bill now proceeds to the Senate committee of the whole for further consideration.","After hours of testimony from equestrians, counties, law enforcement and local-government groups, the committee made Senate Bill 149 permissive, added educational traffic guidance and adopted other amendments before forwarding the bill to the Senate committee of the whole on a 6–1 vote.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6277144,"Senate panel forwards three nominees for Colorado State Housing Board",941,46000,987000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2657219-deb2b0b2cd13fb19bec61da7cfad6fce&start=46&end=987","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2657219-deb2b0b2cd13fb19bec61da7cfad6fce/thumbnail_46000.jpg","/articles/6277144/Colorado/Senate-panel-forwards-three-nominees-for-Colorado-State-Housing-Board","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6277144-eb9d4e54f5c2c3d9400dc11681185889/orig.mp4?Expires=1770913273&Signature=Wjh0~16y0sT9JY-6WywjS9re17xB0SG23qyeHG1iOYz89KbU0aZBI2LHPbqsWONWSlXACI2B2HMi9JqvDegZvZFT~nVttUh7GRIqUWoCuvArXr6SEXs~BpiMZgLeILIMAX1fxwkB6MjFfVb3AhSTcjN0me7LERz2herPcj3iTyKecfgLdmdH7M5hr3aSTlLN~7wHb20OG~t7mzqXKjQhUArpUvyJodD0jnUrTI4XUtMQtbGlMSYcrEZjy-vlv9Is65ACUNOumzJ9IuUlo9tYkE40hAMprrxPqMZNwTN3avhD7QSSQtjEpbfW9HzVECEW7QUFgT13kB4~s8EDGWIWHA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Senate Local Government & Housing Committee on Thursday recommended three appointees to the Colorado State Housing Board and placed the appointments on the consent calendar.

Teresa Casano, director of the Office of Housing and Finance and Sustainability in the Division of Housing at the Department of Local Affairs, introduced the three nominees: Ryburn Jones, Candace Payne and Jared Ryan Moses. Casano said the Colorado State Housing Board, created in 1970, advises the General Assembly, the governor and the Division of Housing on state housing needs and reviews financing requests and regulations for factory-built structures and multifamily housing in counties without building codes. The board has eight members appointed to four-year terms.

Ryburn Jones, introduced as president of RCH Jones Consulting and a longtime underwriter and development adviser in affordable housing, spoke briefly about his experience in financing and development work. Candace Payne, executive director of the East Central Council of Governments, described her work on low- and moderate-income loan programs and economic development on the Eastern Plains. Ryan Moses, identified as a retired military logistics officer and former assistant professor at the Dwight D. Eisenhower School for National Security, emphasized his interest in serving veterans and ensuring taxpayer value from housing initiatives.

Committee members did not ask questions of the nominees. Senator Snyder moved that the committee forward the appointments to the full Senate with a favorable recommendation. The motion carried on a recorded committee vote of 6 to 0. Senator Snyder then moved to place the appointments on the consent calendar; no opposition was recorded and the appointments were placed on the consent calendar.

The committee record shows the nominees will be considered by the full Senate as part of the consent calendar; no additional hearing testimony or votes on nominees were recorded during the committee session.

The committee session that included the confirmations lasted from the convening of the meeting through subsequent agenda items; members observed that housing demand and statewide housing challenges remain central context for the board’s work.","The Senate Local Government & Housing Committee voted to recommend three appointments to the Colorado State Housing Board and placed the appointments on the consent calendar after brief introductions and no questions from committee members.","actionData","errors"]
