Summary of Legislation
This bill prohibits discrimination against a person based on veteran or military status when showing,
selling, transferring, leasing, or renting housing by adding veteran or military status as a basis of
illegal housing discrimination to the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA). Veteran or military
status does not include an individual who was dishonorably discharged from military service.
State Expenditures
The Colorado Civil Rights Division in the Department of Regulatory Agencies investigates violations
of state discrimination laws for housing, employment, and public accommodation. The fiscal note
assumes a 1.0 percent increase in cases from adding veteran or military status to the protected classes
under the CADA. This additional workload can be accomplished within existing appropriations.
Effective Date
The bill was signed into law by the Governor on April 4, 2022, and takes effect on August 9, 2022,
assuming no referendum petition is filed. Page 2
