"These new laws will hold businesses accountable for their advertising practices and help to empower consumers to make informed decisions," said Governor Doe.The Colorado Department of Consumer Protection will be tasked with enforcing the new laws and investigating any complaints of deceptive advertising or unfair business practices. Businesses found to be in violation of the laws may face fines and other penalties.Overall, these new laws represent a significant step forward in protecting the rights of consumers and ensuring a level playing field for businesses in Colorado.
