Status: Governor Signed (May 16, 2025)
Introduced: March 20, 2025

Purpose and intent

HB 25-1306 reorganizes the statutory definitions that apply to the plumbing professions by arranging those definitions in alphabetical order. The stated intent is a technical/clerical improvement to improve the usability, clarity, and accessibility of the plumbing-profession definition section(s) of Colorado law.

Key provisions

  • Reorders existing statutory definitions relating to plumbing professions into alphabetical sequence.
  • Does not add, delete, or substantively change the content of any existing definition (based on the bill title and provided summary information).
  • Appears to be a non-substantive, technical cleanup intended to improve the statute’s organization and readability.

Who or what is affected

  • Primary: users of the plumbing profession statutes — licensed plumbers, apprentices, plumbing contractors, licensing boards, regulators, legal practitioners, and code publishers.
  • Secondary: government offices and legal publishers will need to update statutory text indexes, table-of-contents entries, and online code displays to reflect the new ordering.
  • There is no indication from available information that the bill changes licensing requirements, scopes of practice, penalties, fees, or substantive regulatory obligations.

Practical impact

  • Improves clarity and navigation of statutory definitions, which can reduce confusion and drafting/citation errors.
  • Likely no direct effect on rights, duties, licensing eligibility, or enforcement — changes are organizational rather than substantive.
  • Possible need for administrative updates to references and printed/online code versions; if there are cross‑references elsewhere in the statutes, technical conforming edits may be required to ensure citations remain correct.
