A bill working its way through the Colorado House would retroactively alter thousands of existing contracts for recently built homes to give additional rights to homeowners at the expense of homebuilders.
As appealing as that notion may be to some buyers, it is ex post facto legislation that violates the Colorado Constitution.
House Bill 1338 by Rep. Jack Pommer, D-Boulder, is the latest skirmish in a long struggle between lawyer Scott Sullan and Colorado homebuilders – a duel that bids fair to rival the Hundred Years War in duration, though thankfully not in body count.

Sullan’s success in representing homeowners with defective houses prompted builders to lobby for House Bill 1161 in 2003 to put a cap on damages in such cases. Sullan responded with Amendment 34 on the 2004 ballot to expand the rights of homebuyers. Voters defeated that amendment.
Now Sullan is back with HB 1338, a bill that would strike down as “unconscionable” any clause in a homebuyer’s contract that purports to waive any rights granted under the prior HB 1161. So far, so good – most lawyers believe such waivers won’t stand up in court anyway.
Unfortunately, HB 1338 goes much further by also voiding existing language that replaces “implied” warranties with “express” warranties. To hear the sponsors tell it, there is something evil about swapping the vague general rights conveyed in implied warranties for the explicit language in express warranties. But virtually every warranty in every business makes just such a trade.
