Thanks for the link, sigcurious.

Here is the last paragraph of the first section of the bill, which spells out the major constraint:

(5) NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO EXPAND THE AUTHORITY OF FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS TO INITIATE OR CONDUCT AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION INTO VIOLATIONS OF COLORADO LAW.

It explicitly forbids federal LEOs from acting on their own except in the case of crimes committed in their presence.
