| Summary |
Current law prohibits an insurer from refusing to insure or
increasing a premium for a homeowners insurance policy or a dwelling
fire insurance policy based on the breed or mixture of breeds of a dog that
is kept at a dwelling unless the dog is known to be dangerous or has been
declared to be dangerous. Section 1 of the bill defines the term
homeowners insurance to clarify that this provision applies to all
residential structures used for a residence and occupied by an owner or
renter.
The Colorado Housing Act of 1970 provides financing for
building or rehabilitating affordable housing. Section 2 requires each
housing development that receives financing to authorize tenants of the
affordable housing to own or keep one or more pet animals, subject to
reasonable conditions.
Current law authorizes a tax credit for affordable housing. Section
3 requires the person claiming the tax credit to allow tenants to own or
keep one or more pet animals at the unit that the tenant resides in, subject
to reasonable conditions.
