DENVER — The 2024 legislative session came to a close late Wednesday night after 120 days under the gold dome of the Colorado State Capitol for state lawmakers.
Housing was one of the top priorities for House Democrats at the start of the session after a massive land use bill targeting affordable housing failed in 2023. Duran feels Democrats accomplished their central goals of that land use bill by breaking it up into smaller bills this session. “There was a lot of compromise in there. And that's what good policy is about, compromise. Not being perfect, but compromising," Duran said about the eviction legislation.
Over the summer, Reps. Elisabeth Epps and Robert Marshall filed a lawsuit against the Colorado House of Representatives, claiming"pervasive violations" of the Colorado open meetings law. The lawsuit was settled, but the two no longer serve on the House Judiciary Committee. “We're bringing forward a solution that will bring about $1.3 billion in property tax relief to the people of Colorado. And so, to see Democrats and Republicans, especially considering this time last year, Republicans were ready to walk out because of property tax, I think it's an amazing growth in where we were a year ago," Pugliese said.
