Protections for Agricultural Products Grown in Colorado

Water Resources and Agriculture Review Committee. The bill prohibits a person from:

• Identifying an agricultural product as being produced in the state when selling, marketing, advertising, or distributing the product unless the product is grown in the state; and
• Using the Colorado proud designation or logo unless authorized by the department of agriculture.

A violation of these prohibitions constitutes a deceptive trade practice.
