In May 2024, Colorado Governor Polis signed legislation making it a misdemeanor to knowingly carry a firearm into certain sensitive areas, including school grounds and on college and university campuses. The law took effect July 1 and prohibits the open and concealed carry of firearms. (There are certain exceptions). This new law repeals prior law and practices that allowed guns on Colorado’s college and university campuses.

In addition, in response to the new Colorado law, the Regents of the University of Colorado voted to amend weapons policies to align with state law. See revised Policy 14-I of the University of Colorado Board of Regents (amended on June 21, 2024) https://go.boarddocs.com/co/cu/Board.nsf/files/D6KQVR6B2EAD/$file/Policy_14.I_Weapons%20Control%20-%206..21.2024%20redlines%20as%20passed.pdf
