House and Senate Republicans celebrated big policy wins during the 2024 legislative session, in particular focusing on property taxes and an income tax rate reduction.
“I’m very happy at what our caucus was able to do,” said House Minority Leader Rep. Rose Pugliese of Colorado Springs, who added that Republicans accomplished much in the 2024 session.
Pugliese cited housing measures with Republican sponsorship, including include House Bill 1152, the accessory dwelling unit bill, and House Bill 1308, which would push the state’s Division of Housing to move a little faster in releasing resources for affordable housing development.
Pugliese also pointed to the income tax rate reduction in Senate Bill 228, which will lower the rate from 4.4% to 4.25%. She noted a conversation she had with the governor following the failure of Proposition HH, the Democrat-backed property tax measure, at last November’s ballot.
