Starting July 1, several new Colorado laws take effect from legislation passed during the 2025 and 2026 legislative sessions.
These include two high-profile gun laws and protections for the LGBTQ community that push back against a recent Supreme Court decision.
A third new law takes aim at conversion therapy - a discredited method of trying to change someone's sexual orientation or gender identity. The measure gives victims the power to sue conversion therapy practitioners for lasting psychological harm, with no statute of limitations.
The law, passed earlier this year, is the State Legislature's response to a recent Supreme Court decision overturning Colorado's statewide ban on conversion therapy for minors, which was passed in 2019.
