The Colorado Legislature closed the 2026 regular session with a flurry of activity, including a number of late bills that may impact housing.

Add to that a list of bills directly designed to fix legal problems and protect consumers data, and you end up with a list of bills that will take some time to work through.

But that's not gonna stop us from taking a first look at these last bills that might impact the real estate sector.

Colorado brokers should start re-grounding their fair housing compliance in statute and state law rather than HUD guidance.

With HUD rescinding multiple interpretive guidance documents and proposing removal of its disparate impact regulation, brokers can no longer rely on federal “how-to” explanations for gray areas. Instead, policies and daily practices should be reviewed against the Fair Housing Act itself, the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA), and applicable local ordinances.

In many cases, Colorado law is broader than federal law, meaning state requirements will continue to apply even if federal enforcement priorities narrow.

We'll also discuss the recent "Dear Colleague" letter from HUD to the industry, which states that brokers can share crime and school data. Think this is a free pass to steer clients towards a better school with lower crime rates? It's probably not . Let's talk about it.

And if you're ready to get your Fair Housing training requirements completed, you can find course information online at apexreschool.com.

Property managers will face different hurdles and may need to look closely at the AI services they use now - or those they may want to use in the future.

Other industry segments, such as industrial or commercial, may find that the new law removes some burdens they may have otherwise faced.

One thing is certain, and that is that all real estate brokers need to know when they will run into the law in practice. To help with that we dive into the new law and examine the responsibilities that those who use AI tools in real estate will need to be aware of.
