Colorado Reviewing Construction Liability Law

A simmering dispute over liability in home construction is heating up at the Colorado Legislature.

A bipartisan group of lawmakers announced a bill Tuesday to address the construction-defects law. The law governs how homeowners can sue builders for shoddy construction.

Developers say Colorado’s law makes it expensive to get insurance, chilling development and contributing to a housing shortage. Consumer advocates fear that reform efforts would push the needle too far in favor of developers.
