This week on Colorado Chamber Office Hours, host Ed Sealover dives into House Bill 1036, a contentious bill proposing a tax on Colorado homes left vacant for extended periods of time. We hear from Kevin Bommer, executive director of the Colorado Municipal League, who supports the bill and Brian Tanner, vice president of public policy at the Colorado Association of Realtors, who opposes it. Tune in for a discussion on affordable housing, the potential pros and cons of the bill and what the impact of HB 1036 would be for Colorado communities.
Shortly after this episode aired, HB 1036 was heard in committee and died by a 7-4 margin. Read more updates about the outcome on The Sum & Substance here.
