The Colorado House on Friday gave final approval to two major proposals dealing with housing and youth in the foster care system with a few defections among Democrats.
House Bill 1007 would block local governments from imposing residential occupancy limits except for public health and safety reasons.
The House had debated HB 1007 on Feb. 2 but waited a full week for its final vote, a signal that the measure might encounter some opposition among Democrats.
As it turns out, it did — from leadership. Rep. Shannon Bird of Westminster, who chairs the Joint Budget Committee, and House Majority Leader Monica Duran of Wheat Ridge, who both joined the Republican members in voting against it.
