Committee postpones bill to bar registered registrants from state transitional homes near schools after contentious hearing

Rep. Goldstein asked for testimony on HB 26‑12‑85, which would bar placement of people required to register under the state registry in some Mental Health Transitional Living Homes near schools. Municipal officials and Northglenn leaders pressed for statutory guardrails; state health officials and treatment advocates opposed broad residency restrictions. The committee voted 10–1 to postpone the bill indefinitely.
