Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Ammunition deliveries require identification and receipts
Beginning July 1, 2026, retail ammunition deliverers must check government-issued photo ID and obtain written acknowledgment of receipt. Recipients must be at least 21; a temporary exception covers those born on or before January 28, 2007. That exception ends January 28, 2028. The rules cover retail deliveries to Colorado purchasers, including purchases from out-of-state vendors, but exclude wholesale sales and deliveries. Vendors must notify deliverers in writing that a package contains ammunition, without outside markings identifying its contents unless federal rules require them. Delivery checks do not apply when the sender failed to give notice and the deliverer does not know ammunition is inside. Violating the delivery requirements or the vendor notice and package-marking rules is a class 1 misdemeanor.
Ammunition shoppers must get staff help
Beginning July 1, 2026, Colorado retail vendors must prevent customers from accessing ammunition without help from the vendor or staff. This covers sales, offers, displays, and transfers. An enclosed case, counter, or other barrier that blocks customer access meets the rule. Ammunition includes firearm cartridges and components such as cases, primers, bullets, and propellant powder. It excludes loose shotgun shot or pellets that are not a complete load, and unloaded, nonmetallic shotgun hulls without primers.
Young buyers face new ammunition limits
Beginning July 1, 2026, Colorado retail vendors cannot sell non-rimfire ammunition to people under 21, except through listed exceptions. Vendors must check government-issued photo ID for in-person sales. Buyers ages 18–20 born on or before January 28, 2007, qualify for an exception until January 28, 2028. Shooting range operators can sell to buyers ages 18–20 for use only at the range, after checking government photo ID. Other in-person exceptions cover U.S. military or Colorado National Guard members and veterans ages 18–20 who show valid military ID. Buyers ages 18–20 also qualify with a hunter education certificate recognized by Colorado's Division of Parks and Wildlife. An expired or current Division hunting license with verified hunter education also qualifies. Protected people ages 18–20 must show a qualifying protection order and attest that it remains in effect. A vendor's first unlawful underage sale is a civil infraction; later offenses are class 1 misdemeanors.
