Limits on Collection Activity

On January 21, 2021, Governor Polis signed Senate Bill 21-002 into law. The Bill effectively extends the prohibitions on creditors from taking extraordinary actions to recover debt, to June 1, 2021, resulting in limits on collection activity. There were no changes to the original Bill (SB 20-211).
