CO HB1314

Creates the "Colorado Right to Rest Act" establishing protected rights for persons experiencing homelessness, including the right to use and move freely in public spaces, rest in public spaces, eat or accept food in public spaces where permitted, occupy a legally parked vehicle, and maintain reasonable privacy expectations for personal property.

Prohibits the state and all counties, cities, municipalities, and other subdivisions from enacting or enforcing laws, ordinances, rules, or regulations that limit, prohibit, or penalize any of these enumerated activities.

Requires cessation of enforcement of existing laws that criminalize basic survival acts such as sleeping, sitting, loitering, storing belongings, asking for help, or using blankets, sleeping bags, tents, or other protective structures regardless of outdoor temperature.

Defines "obstruction" narrowly to exclude conduct on public space unless it blocks an entryway to private property or renders a street, sidewalk, or passageway impassable or hazardous.

Protects individuals from criminal sanctions, civil penalties, or harassment by law enforcement, security personnel, or district agents for exercising these rights, while clarifying that service providers have no obligation to provide shelter or services when unavailable.
