2023 Colorado Legislative Session

Rates of car theft in Colorado are higher than any other state in the U.S. Lawmakers want to combat the trend by classifying all car thefts as felonies, regardless of a vehicle’s value.

A bill at the State Capitol would require first-time drivers under 18 years old to complete hours of drivers education courses. It also adds new requirements for driving with an instructor.

The legislature convenes Monday for a session that could see Colorado move further to the left on social and environmental issues.
