What’s a Fair Price? The Debate Over Consumer Pricing Protections

In this episode of Colorado Chamber Office Hours, we dig into HB 1012, a bill aimed at expanding consumer pricing protections in Colorado. Supporters say it increases transparency and accountability, while opponents raise concerns about regulatory overreach and unintended consequences for Colorado businesses.We sit down with Rep. Yara Zokaie (D-52), a primary sponsor of the bill, and Rep. Anthony Hartsook (R-44), who opposes it, to walk through the goals of the proposal, the concerns raised by the business community, and what the legislation could mean for consumers and employers across the state.
