Yes. Colorado’s mental health practice act (C.R.S. § 12-245-229) requires a licensed mental health professional to establish a bona fide provider-patient relationship before issuing an ESA letter. Issuing a letter without one violates Colorado licensing law. Colorado also enforces C.R.S. § 18-13-107.3, which makes intentionally misrepresenting a pet as an assistance animal a class 2 petty offense after a prior warning, with fines up to $500.
No. ESA letters cover housing only under the Fair Housing Act. Colorado ESAs do not have public access rights and airlines are no longer required to accommodate ESAs in the cabin. If you need public access and air travel rights, a PSD letter Colorado covers both with a task-trained dog.
