Senate advances bill to modernize Capitol and courthouse security to appropriations

Senate Finance unanimously voted to advance HB 14‑22 after sponsors President Coleman and Senator Frizzell described it as a measured response to increasing threats against public officials and court staff. The bill would establish an administrative legislative safety function to coordinate security for members and staff, clarify the Colorado State Patrol’s role in the Capitol Complex, update courthouse security standards and funding mechanisms, and modernize protections for sensitive personal information.
