SB 24-046

Senate Bill 24-046 prohibits selling counterfeit, unsafe, or novelty lighters in Colorado. This means stores and retailers can no longer offer these types of lighters for sale to the public. The law does allow for the transportation and storage of such lighters within warehouses that are not open to the public. Since the bill has been signed into law, it is now enforceable by state authorities.
