Colorado Governor Supporting Construction Defect Reform

Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper recently called upon the state assembly to continue bipartisan efforts to address construction defect reform in 2016. Based on the Governor’s comments, Coloradans will once again see bills introduced to try to balance the interests of builders, owners and HOAs.  According to the Governor, the issues surrounding construction defect reform are “too important to give up on.”  This perspective from the Governor is supported in light of recent attempts to address construction defect concerns at local levels by an increasing number of cities and municipalities. Disputes between interest groups have stalled past efforts at construction defect reform.
