Colorado Pre-Lien Legislation 2012

Colorado Pre-Lien Update

The Colorado Association of Home Builders Government Affairs Committee removed mechanics’ liens as a proactive item from their 2012 legislative agenda and as such will not be proceeding with a bill on this issue. 

In 2011, House Bill 11-1020, initiated by the CAHB was considered by the House Economic and Business Development Committee.  On March 3, 2011 the Committee - on a 13-0 vote - referred HB 11-1020 to a Legislative Committee for further study.  I participated on the committee through the summer and early fall.  A revised version of a possible bill was reviewed this week by CAHB, who decided not to pursue the bill in the 2012 legislative session.
