Unemployment, foreclosure bills to help during recession
Tuesday evening, Gov. Bill Ritter will sign several bills that will help hard-working Coloradans better make it through the recession. He plans to sign SB 247, which modernizes, strengthens and reforms Colorado’s unemployment insurance system, and HB 1276, which delays foreclosure proceedings so borrowers and lenders can avoid foreclosure.
Monday night, he signed HB 1064 to create the Economic Opportunity and Poverty Reduction Task Force, which will recommend actions to alleviate poverty in Colorado.
