Issue Position: Fight for Consumers

Issue Position

Colorado consumers enjoy some of the weakest protections in the Nation. We need to fix the Colorado Consumer Protection Act so that it provides an actual avenue for relief for persons harmed by wrongful corporate conduct. We need to examine our procurement laws and process to ensure that entities looking to do business with the State of Colorado are not directly or indirectly promoting discrimination or anti-competitive conduct. We also need to repeal the penalty on filings, which requires that any consumer who loses a tort case on a motion to dismiss must pay the defendant's legal fees.

This Session I was the prime sponsor in the House of SB20-080, which would have restored damages available under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act.
