Senate Bill 18-185, which has been signed into law, allows business owners, managers, and employees to use deadly force under specific circumstances if they are threatened by an intruder. This means that these individuals have the legal right to defend themselves or others with lethal measures when facing a dangerous situation at their workplace. The bill affects anyone involved in running or working at a business in Colorado and provides them with expanded protections against violent intruders. Since it has been signed, this law is now active and enforceable in the state.
