CO HB1233

Prohibits state and local government entities from restricting any person from conducting basic life functions (sitting, standing, sleeping, lying down, eating, sheltering) in public spaces unless adequate indoor shelter is offered and refused by the person.

Prohibits government entities from restricting any person from occupying a motor vehicle that is legally parked on public property or parked on private property with owner permission.

Defines "adequate shelter" as an indoor place that does not restrict access due to limited hours, lack of storage, religious requirements, or personal characteristics of individuals.

Allows individuals to pursue civil actions against government entities that violate these protections, with courts authorized to award injunctive relief, declaratory relief, restitution, damages, and reasonable attorney fees and costs to the prevailing party.

Establishes that these protections are matters of statewide concern based on the constitutional rights of homeless individuals and limited access to adequate shelter for certain populations.
