Senate committee indefinitely postpones lot‑splitting proposal
Summary
Senator Ball presented a bill to allow lot splitting statewide as a tool to increase starter homes but asked the committee to postpone House Bill 13‑08 indefinitely; the committee granted the request without witness testimony.
Chair called up House Bill 13‑08 introduced as a lot‑splitting measure intended to expand starter‑home supply. Sponsor Senator Ball described similar programs used in Denver and framed the bill as a potential mechanism for increasing smaller, starter homes across Colorado.
Ball told the committee he would ask that the bill be postponed indefinitely and that no witnesses would be heard that evening. The committee took the motion and recorded the request; the chair ordered a roll vote and the motion to postpone to indefinite status was approved. The bill will not move forward this session but sponsors said they expect to continue work on the concept.
Because the sponsor requested the postponement, there was no public testimony on the bill at the hearing.
