New Commentary: Our Commitment to Client and Consumer Confidence
On Saturday 07/11/2020, without informing any stakeholders or bill sponsors,
the governor vetoed HB20-1207. This effectively ends PI licensing in Colorado as
of 08/31/2020. More importantly - it ends important and effective consumer
protections for Coloradoans.

First, we Thank YOU - our clients and colleagues - for the overwhelming support
from when we started working with DORA (so we thought) in the sunset review
process about this time last year, and right up until it was vetoed. Many sent
letters to DORA, the legislature, and the governor's office. We appreciate the
time you took to support our profession and consumer protections in Colorado!

Please visit this commentary for these important and complete details. We have also included a link to a training video,
intended for Colorado licensure, which details the losses to the public. We recommend all Colorado Professional
Investigators - new and veteran - follow the guidance in this video for the standards of practice and ethics.
