Gov. Jared Polis on Monday signed two bills tightening gun regulations in Colorado into law — the first new firearm restrictions enacted in the state since the red flag bill became law in 2019.
The legislation was introduced before the deadly attack on a Boulder King Soopers in March, though the shootings brought greater urgency to the measures, which are mainly focused on reducing gun-related suicides.
Other gun control bills are expected to be debated at the legislature later this year.
The legislation signed into law on Monday, which passed the General Assembly without any Republican support, will affect all gun owners in Colorado.
