Feel like walking around with a beer in your hand at the Colorado State Fair? That's just fine. A new law goes into effect Aug. 10 that allows the movement of alcoholic beverages at the Fair.

A total of 165 new laws will go into effect Tuesday. Among them:

  • a requirement for people who bury human bodies in private cemeteries to file the location with the county clerk.
  • seniors may buy a lifetime state parks pass
  • retailers will be barred from charging service fees for gift cards

The new laws are going into effect 90 days after the end of the session because of a state law that allows voters to challenge any measure not vital to the "health, safety and welfare" of the state.
