Bill Summary
CONCERNING MODIFICATIONS TO ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS FOR CERTAIN IRRIGATION EQUIPMENT.
AI Summary
This bill removes specific definitions and standards related to irrigation equipment from Colorado law, including definitions for "check valve," "irrigation controller" (which are devices that automatically manage watering based on soil moisture or weather data), "pressure regulator" (a device that maintains consistent water pressure), and "spray sprinkler body" (the casing of a sprinkler). Consequently, the bill also removes these items from the list of products subject to efficiency standards and eliminates the requirement that, as of January 1, 2026, irrigation controllers must meet WaterSense program specifications and spray sprinkler bodies must include an integral pressure regulator and check valve to be sold in Colorado.
