C.R.S. Section 34-60-109
Commission may bring suit


If it appears that any person fails to comply with an order issued pursuant to section 34-60-121, the commission, through the attorney general, shall bring suit in the name of the state against such person in the district court in the county of the residence of the defendant, or in the county of the residence of any defendant if there is more than one defendant, or in the county where the violation is alleged to have occurred, to restrain such person from continuing such violation or from carrying out the threat of violation. In such suit the court may grant injunctions, prohibitory and mandatory, including temporary restraining orders and temporary injunctions. Proceedings for appellate review or any other proceedings for review may be taken from any judgment, decree, or order in any action under this article as provided by law and the Colorado appellate rules, and all proceedings in the trial and appellate court shall have precedence over any other proceedings then pending in such courts. No bonds shall be required of the commission in any such proceeding or review.
