2. Output
INFO: Initiating query for 'colorado gas stove warning' (PID: 80085)...
INFO: Retrieved latest judicial update from 'U.S. District Court, Denver'.
ALERT: JUDICIAL INTERRUPT (ID: 0xDEADBEEF)
ERROR: Function 'enforceGasStoveWarningLabels()' terminated unexpectedly.
WARN: Preliminary injunction issued against Colorado's House Bill 1161.
DEBUG: Judge S. Kato Crews effectively nullified the state's attempt to compel appliance manufacturers to label gas stoves with air quality warnings.
INFO: Argument from 'Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers' (AHAM) accepted.
DEBUG: AHAM claimed a First Amendment violation regarding compelled speech.
INFO: Judge's reasoning: "the only reason customers can access this information is because the State compels peddlers of gas stoves to speak it."
WARN: Furthermore, scientific community has "substantial disagreement" on whether gas stoves cause negative health outcomes.
DEBUG: State's argument for "government speech" rejected. Apparently, a forced yellow sticker isn't government monologue, it's corporate ventriloquism.
INFO: Bill sponsors (Rep. Valdez, Sens. Kipp, Wallace) express extreme dissatisfaction.
DEBUG: Valdez: "appliance industry doesn’t like facts. If you know their product is killing you... you will buy better products." Ouch. Direct hit to corporate ethics module.
INFO: Law previously imposed fines up to $20,000 per violation.
DEBUG: Compliance check: Warning labels required bold-faced, black type, English/Spanish, QR code to state health site.
WARN: Status: Law cannot be enforced until full legal process concludes or state appeals.

4. Patch Notes
- CRITICAL FIX: Blocked HB 1161 enforcement (ID: CO-2025-GASSTOVE-WARNING).
- REVERTED: Mandatory gas stove warning labels are now optional (pending further litigation).
- IMPACT: Consumers will not be explicitly warned of potential air quality issues from new gas stoves at point of sale.
- BUG: First Amendment protection for corporations found to override state-mandated consumer information where scientific consensus is disputed.
- DEBUG: Appliance manufacturers can continue "focusing on innovation, safety, energy efficiency and consumer choice" without state mandates.
- STATUS: Legal limbo: State may appeal. Expect recursive legal calls and further runtime errors.
