The Colorado Public Utilities Commission established comprehensive regulations governing towing operations in the state, creating the regulatory framework that would later be strengthened in 2024 to allow permit denials for operators with felony convictions, according to the Colorado Secretary of State. The original regulations addressed rates, service standards, and consumer protections.

Colorado built its towing regulatory framework incrementally — the 2024 law that lets the PUC deny permits to felons was built on a foundation laid in earlier regulatory action. Legislative reform is a process, not an event.
