Colorado joins the ledger: eleven Front Range cities, cited to code

Denver, Aurora, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Thornton, Westminster, Arvada, Boulder, Longmont, Fort Collins, and Greeley — the HB24-1152 (C.R.S. 29-35-401–405) landscape, verified against adopted ordinances and codified text, with an adversarial fact-check of a load-bearing claim per city before publication (7 confirmed, 4 corrected). The compliance picture is messier than Washington's: the state formally listed Aurora, Thornton, and Arvada as non-complying in October 2025; Colorado Springs adopted on time while asserting home-rule authority to be stricter; Pueblo adopted under a state extension; Greeley's code appears to conflict with the statute yet escaped the state's list. Lakewood follows shortly — see its own entry.
