The Colorado Attorney General is one of four independently elected statewide offices in Colorado and was established by the state constitution upon statehood in 1876. The Attorney General and the Department of Law, which Attorney General Phil Weiser oversees (collectively referred to as the Colorado Attorney General’s Office or AGO), represents and defends the legal interests of the people of the

State of Colorado and its sovereignty. The Attorney General exercises the responsibilities given to his office by the Colorado Constitution, statutes enacted by the Colorado General Assembly and the people of the state of Colorado, and the common law. The Attorney General has primary authority for enforcement of consumer protection and antitrust laws, prosecution of criminal appeals and some complex white-collar crimes, the Statewide Grand Jury, training and certification of peace officers, and certain natural resource and environmental matters. The Attorney General’s Office also works concurrently with Colorado’s 22 district attorneys and other local, state and federal law enforcement authorities to carry out the criminal justice responsibilities and activities of the office. The Attorney General is also the chief legal counsel and advisor to the executive branch of state government including the governor, except as otherwise provided by statute, all of the departments of state government, and to the many state agencies, boards, and commissions.

Attorney General Phil Weiser joined a bipartisan coalition of attorneys general opposing the federal KIDS Act, warning the bill would weaken states’ ability to protect children online while shielding Big Tech from accountability.

The coalition warned the bill could block protections addressing online harms to minors, including risks related to social media, obscenity, social gaming platforms, and AI chatbots.

“The efforts to preempt state oversight of Big Tech companies for their harms to our kids are wrong and must be stopped,” said AG Weiser.

The attorneys general are urging Congress to pass stronger protections that include a meaningful duty of care requirement for online platforms while preserving states’ authority to hold companies accountable.

Attorney General Phil Weiser announced a major enforcement sweep today targeting thousands of allegedly fraudulent Colorado businesses linked to cryptocurrency scams, investment fraud, romance scams, and other unlawful activities.

The lawsuits allege scammers used Colorado business registrations and “good standing” certificates to appear legitimate and convince consumers to send money to fraudulent investment and cryptocurrency platforms. In some cases, victims allegedly lost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Some Colorado homeowners also had businesses registered to their addresses without their knowledge or permission.
