CO SB002

State Housing Board must adopt regional building codes by July 1, 2026 for factory-built structures that account for local climate zones, wind shear, snow load, wildfire risk, thermal zones, radon mitigation, and fire sprinkler requirements

Counties and municipalities cannot impose more restrictive zoning or development standards on factory-built structures than those applied to site-built homes in the same residential zones

Advisory committee expanded from 15 to 19 members to develop regional building codes and implementation requirements, with representation from each of Colorado's four climate zones (4, 5, 6, and 7)

$600,000 transferred from the Innovative Housing Incentive Program Fund to the Building Regulation Fund on July 1, 2025, plus $182,264 appropriated for FY 2025-26 to add 1.0 FTE at the Division of Housing

Plumbing and electrical boards lose jurisdiction over factory-built structure construction and installation once State Housing Board adopts new rules, though licensed professionals still required for external utility connections
