SB 17-086: Authorize Local Governments Inclusionary Housing Programs

In 1981, the general assembly enacted legislation that prohibits counties and municipalities (local governments) from enacting any ordinance or resolution that would control rent on private residential property. The bill clarifies that an ordinance or resolution that would control rent on either private residential property or a private residential housing unit does not include an ordinance or resolution enacted by a county or a municipality that establishes, as a condition of obtaining approval for the development of a project, inclusionary housing or inclusionary zoning requirements. As used in the bill, 'inclusionary housing' or 'inclusionary zoning' means a program enacted legislatively and with opportunity for public input that requires, as a condition of obtaining approval for the development of a project, the provision of residential units affordable to and occupied by owners or tenants whose household incomes do not exceed a limit that is established in the ordinance or resolution. The bill specifies different components that may be included in an inclusionary housing program. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)

SB 17-092: Immunity Peace Officer Background Checks

Under current law, when a law enforcement agency interviews a candidate for a peace officer position and that candidate previously worked for a state or local law enforcement agency or governmental agency, the candidate must execute a waiver that allows the previous employer to release the candidate's personnel file to the interviewing agency. The bill requires the candidate to also sign a waiver releasing his or her personnel file related to employment with a private entity to the interviewing agency. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)

SB 17-049: Exempt Drains Designated Groundwater Requirements

To withdraw groundwater within a designated basin, current law requires a permit issued by the ground water commission, and typically a portion of the groundwater must be replaced. The bill exempts a drain from the permit and replacement obligations if the drain is for residential, commercial, or industrial development or utility lines installed to serve such development; the drain does not penetrate a confining layer; the removed groundwater is not put to any use other than collecting and removing groundwater from soils; and the removed groundwater is discharged essentially where the drain is located. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
