Senate Bill 16-197 was a comprehensive bill that changed the landscape of the liquor industry in many ways.  It incorporated a great deal of stakeholder input and ultimately the bill included many different viewpoints.  This bill was challenging and complex so there have been a few components to the bill that have recently raised some concerns with stakeholders. 

Recently, the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles changed the look on new driver's licenses issued in Colorado to incorporate new security features and there have been several media campaigns aimed at providing information to the public about the new licenses.
