Representative Luck stated he could not support HB 1013 because language on page 2, line 17 inserts the state into contractual negotiations, which he argued infringes upon fundamental rights to freely consent and contract.

And this is a common practice used in multifamily housing. And what became clear, as in the lead up to implementation of the bill this January, was a need for clarity, that that was in fact the legislative intent and that these cost allocation practices are still allowable under the bill.”
