Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Denver Post
Thirteen new laws will take effect in Colorado on July 1, including regulations on the use of psychedelics, stricter penalties for auto thefts, and the codification of Miranda rights. The state legislature passed 484 bills, with Governor Jared Polis vetoing 10 and allowing one to pass without his signature. Other laws taking effect include criminal sentencing reforms, a new felony for pointing lasers at aircraft, and exemptions for small businesses from retail delivery fees. The deadline for law enforcement agencies to have body cameras is also July 1.
