Colorado's $20K Produce Mislabeling Penalty and Bear-Luring Evidence Shift

Colorado enacts two laws effective Aug. 12, 2026: HB 1031 makes false 'Colorado-grown' produce claims a deceptive trade practice with up to $20,000 in fines and restricts the 'Colorado Proud' logo, while HB 1342 lowers the evidentiary bar for bear-luring charges and raises repeat-offense fines to $5,000. For legal and RegTech audiences, the statutes create new compliance obligations and enforcement exposure across agriculture, retail, and wildlife-adjacent sectors.
