Last year, Colorado Governor Jared Polis vetoed a bill that would have continued licensing for private investigators. At the time, the licensing program was set to expire at the end of this month, but that has been extended to August 31, 2021. After that, private investigators will no longer be under the regulatory authority of the Division of Professions and Occupations. DORA states that this will require anyone operating as a PI in Colorado to continue to be licensed through August 31, 2021. You must also retain your $10,000 bond until then, and DORA will still have the jurisdiction and authority to regulate and discipline licensees.
