HB 22-1145

House Bill 22-1145 changes Colorado law to allow people to possess large-capacity ammunition magazines for participating in firearm shooting competitions that are officially sanctioned or coordinated by a state agency. This means competitors can use these magazines during approved events without breaking the law. The bill has been signed into law, so it is now active and affects anyone who participates in such competitions in Colorado.
