As you know, Community Association Institute’s Colorado Legislative Action Committee (“CLAC”) has been working on Senate Bill 11-122 (“SB 122”). If passed, SB 122 would destroy the ability of homeowner associations (“HOAs”) to assign junior lien rights to investors. This would have a detrimental impact on the finances of many HOAs in Colorado. SB 122 – A Gamble HOAs Can’t Afford Colorado to Take more fully explains the issue. 

CLAC has been working on another bill that could significantly blunt the negative impact of SB 122 on associations. While progress has been made, stakeholders have not yet approved a final rework of the legislation. As a result, we must take immediate action to defeat SB 122.

SB 122 is scheduled to be heard before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday morning. Please take a moment right now to call and email members of the Senate Judiciary Committee to ask them to vote NO on SB 122. Please make these contacts on Monday.
