DENVER- Today, Governor Polis signed bills into law, continuing to support Colorado’s hardworking farmers and ranchers.

“I am proud to sign this important bipartisan legislation that saves hardworking farmers and ranchers time and money on repairs, and supports Colorado’s thriving agriculture industry. This is a common-sense bipartisan bill to help people avoid unnecessary delays from equipment repairs. Farmers and ranchers can lose precious weeks and months when equipment repairs are stalled due to long turnaround times by manufacturers and dealers. This bill will change that. I thank the bill sponsors Representatives Brianna Titone, Ron Weinberg, Senators Nick Hinrichsen and Janice Marchman for sending this bill to my desk, and I thank our Department of Ag for supporting this legislation. Rep. Titone in particular has been an excellent leader in this space for a number of years and I appreciate her work on right to repair,” said Colorado Governor Jared Polis.
