LEGISLATIVE REPORT
SDA 2026 LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Colorado General Assembly – March 10, 2026
The Colorado General Assembly has reached the halfway point of the 2026 legislative session. The Special District Association (SDA) is actively tracking several bills that may affect special districts across the state. Below is a brief overview of key legislation currently under consideration.
HB26-1140 – Local Government Impact Hearings
This bill would create local government impact hearings during the legislative session for bills that significantly affect local governments. These hearings would allow local governments and special districts to provide input on legislation before it advances further in the process.
HB-1300 – Affordable Housing Authority
This bill would allow affordable housing services to be added to a special district’s service plan without requiring approval from the jurisdiction that originally approved the plan. In certain cases, a board of directors could amend the service plan to include affordable housing projects without undergoing a full service plan modification.
HB26-1272 – Extreme Temperature Worker Protection
This legislation establishes workplace protections for employees exposed to extreme heat or cold. The bill may require additional safety policies, reporting, and planning from employers. SDA has raised concerns about potential administrative and financial burdens for districts.
HB26-1319 – Right to Be Out at Work Act
This bill prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in the workplace. Some local government organizations have expressed concerns regarding potential unfunded mandates and expanded employer liability.
SB26-117 – Colorado Open Records Act (CORA) Reform
This proposal aims to address challenges related to Colorado Open Records Act (CORA) requests submitted to local governments. The bill seeks to reduce administrative burdens associated with large or complex records requests while maintaining public transparency.
HB26-1095 – Digital Publication for Legal Notices
This bill would allow local governments to publish certain required legal notices online on a newspaper’s website rather than only in print. The notices must remain publicly accessible and not be placed behind a paywall. The proposal aims to modernize public notice requirements while maintaining transparency.
HB26-1199 – Property Tax Classification Changes
This bill proposes adjustments to how certain properties are classified and taxed under Colorado property tax law. Changes to classification or assessment could affect local government revenue and district funding structures.
Tracking Legislative Activity
Readers can monitor legislation being considered during the 2026 session through the Colorado General Assembly website. The site provides bill summaries, hearing schedules, sponsors, amendments, and current status updates for all proposed legislation.
