UPDATE - Colorado PI Licensing
In October Colorado’s Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) recommended the repeal of the 2015 PI licensing law,
citing no evidence of past or potential public harm. The Professional Private Investigators Association of Colorado
(PPIAC) and Legislative Committee are working daily to introduce and have passed renewed legislation to continue the
licensing program of PIs. The licensing program is only five years old - and has proven a success in protecting the public.

th
On January 28 , PPIAC Legislative Committee members attended and presented information to the Colorado House
Transportation Committee in consideration of continuing licensing of private investigators in Colorado. This is the first of
several steps – each step must be successful to continue licensing in Colorado. Our VP of Legislative Affairs, Robert
Orozco, and past VP of Legislative Affairs, Ryan Johnston - both PPIAC Past Presidents - did an excellent job on behalf of
all Colorado PIs and protecting consumers. The committee had several bi-partisan questions, many of concern with
DORA’s recommendation to end licensure. PPIAC and NCISS President Andrea Orozco sent this message to members:

“I'm happy to say that the recommendation of the committee our PI licensing sunset was heard in yesterday was to
draft a bill to continue licensing for another 5 years. The recommendation passed 11-0 (bipartisan). Onto the next
phase of drafting a bill.
