Bill Summary · HB 1219

Legislative bill overview

HB 1219 modifies the deadline for battery assessment submissions in Colorado, though the specific details of which assessments, the new deadline, and the previous deadline are not provided in the information available. The bill has been introduced and assigned to the State, Civic, Military, & Veterans Affairs Committee as of February 17, 2026.

Why is this important

Battery assessment deadlines typically affect recycling programs, environmental compliance, or hazardous material management. Changes to submission deadlines can impact businesses, government agencies, and environmental outcomes depending on whether deadlines are extended (providing relief) or shortened (creating compliance pressure).

Potential points of contention

  • Industry compliance burden: Stakeholders may debate whether the new deadline provides sufficient time for battery assessment completion and submission
  • Environmental accountability: Shorter deadlines could improve environmental oversight but may burden small businesses; longer deadlines might reduce compliance rigor
  • Regulatory clarity: The bill's effectiveness depends on clear definitions of which batteries are covered and what constitutes a complete assessment
