COLORADO (KOAA) — Monday, Governor Jared Polis signed a new bill into law to expand the state's red flag gun law. The new law allows more groups to ask a judge to temporarily take away someone's firearms.

Healthcare facilities and schools can now file a petition if they believe someone is a danger to themselves or others.

The new law takes effect immediately.

Governor Polis signed the original red flag bill into law in 2019 during his first year in office.
