Ex. Summary:

House Bill 20-1332 in Colorado prohibits housing discrimination based on a tenant’s source of income, ensuring fair rental opportunities for individuals relying on wages, government assistance, or housing vouchers. It is unlawful to refuse rentals, impose different terms, or advertise bias against income sources while exempting small landlords with three or fewer units or five or fewer single-family homes from specific provisions. The bill allocates funds for enforcement through the Civil Rights Division and took effect on January 1, 2021. By strengthening fair housing protections, this legislation promotes equity in housing access and reduces barriers for vulnerable populations.
