In opening remarks Representative Garcia framed the bill as an effort to reaffirm constitutional protections — citing the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendments — and to prevent disruptions to court access after judges in one district issued orders warning ICE not to engage in civil immigration enforcement at courthouses. Representative Velasco walked members through specific sections: removal of affidavits tied to driver’s licenses and in-state tuition for students without lawful presence, expansion of data-privacy provisions to political subdivisions (counties, municipalities, boards), restrictions on sharing geolocation and personally identifying information, reporting requirements, and a provision limiting the ability of jails to delay a defendant’s release for immigration enforcement absent a judicial warrant.

Supporters who testified included the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition (Gladys Ybarra), the Uniform Law Commission attorney panelists, the ACLU of Colorado, local county commissioners, district attorneys and health-care providers. Gladys Ybarra said rescinding federal ‘‘sensitive locations’’ guidance made state protections necessary. District Attorney Michael Daugherty said the bill protects victims’ ability to access courts and health care and emphasized public-safety benefits of ensuring victims and witnesses can come forward.

Opponents — including the Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police and several sheriffs and chiefs — argued the bill would place local law enforcement in conflict with federal statute (8 U.S.C. § 1373 was cited in testimony) and could have fiscal and enforcement consequences. Chiefs and sheriffs told the committee they rely on information sharing and intergovernmental cooperation for large multi‑agency investigations and warned the bill’s civil-penalty structure could deter cooperation.

Committee members questioned the sponsors about fiscal impacts, the effect on multi-jurisdictional policing, and details such as the six-hour release window for bond posting. Sponsors said the bill preserves federal authority where a judicial warrant or subpoena exists and that the intention is to ensure state and local entities follow constitutional limits and to reduce instances where local resources are used for routine civil immigration actions.

The committee adopted a technical amendment clarifying policy control over surrounding properties, removed a section on detention agreements, and adjusted language around precise geolocation data. After nearly four hours of testimony and questioning the committee voted 7-4 to advance SB 276 to Appropriations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","House Judiciary [Apr 28, 2025]","oneSentenceSummary","Representatives Garcia and Velasco presented Senate Bill 276, a broad package that would expand state limits on sharing personally identifying information with immigration enforcement, restrict detainer-based holds without a judicial warrant, and require policies for sensitive locations such as schools and health-care facilities.","taxTitle","Judiciary, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Committees, Legislative, Colorado","taxId",43317,"location","Colorado","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6049934,"Committee backs codifying 'Legislation Inside' program for incarcerated peer representatives",849,1263000,2112000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3506977-650c7805dbe4f7e27ac21208dcdf6dfe&start=1263&end=2112","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3506977-650c7805dbe4f7e27ac21208dcdf6dfe/thumbnail_1263000.jpg","/articles/6049934/Colorado/Committee-backs-codifying-Legislation-Inside-program-for-incarcerated-peer-representatives","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6049934-73611383af4eae8c14cd1567ee015922/orig.mp4?Expires=1770438054&Signature=JFVoBPrw4Ls~hYokAxfAFDG1o9qjpp~9nmrDn6S6TsSaUtkVTb2v3ZtUcEDYEB4ORSZUQqEWx3yIAqFv~tzLQCAdhopU4Di9XFb1zCKit8I1yxbIWk~97lNCTC7EDt15gptma7T817EyJvL4ePeHCYeS0wREzORbO-KRPBBoDFbg2sT0T44ADPH1kDZW-IdsbhkrJJgiMUvEQlV50JVAED2nivtjuiLYUm81ibbcowJZ8ScZl6ozspgzXd4Sv03KHkniS3UmJ5cltJGNRqXqLd7x50-Xti0YGaaHjB4PiMIeio8FP2ZJak0Ik7GfoqAR67j1sSVS2YfUipwEQ2nzFw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Representative Clifford told the committee Senate Bill 155 would codify Legislation Inside, a program formed in 2021 that elects peer representatives inside correctional facilities to advise lawmakers and corrections officials on programming, reentry supports and policy. \"The feedback that we get from these elected representatives is pretty profound,\" Clifford said, describing members as pragmatists who help improve rehabilitation and reduce recidivism.

Supporters included Jeannie Siegel of the Corey Wise Innocence Project, legislation-inside participants speaking from correctional facilities, and Bree Buentejo of Sanford Children Colorado. Jeannie Siegel recounted facilitating restorative circles and advocated for a sustainable space where incarcerated people have a voice. A remote representative, Chantelle Doree (testifying from a correctional facility), said Legislation Inside \"gives a voice to people who feel they don't have one\" and highlighted participation in SMART Act hearings.

Rep. Clifford said the program will remain contractor-run and partnered with the Colorado Department of Corrections. No amendments were offered. Clifford moved SB 155 to the Appropriations Committee with a favorable recommendation; the motion passed on a roll-call vote, 7-4.

Speakers emphasized program outcomes, including a peer-elected structure, representation in legislative hearings, and potential to reduce recidivism through improved programming. Committee members thanked sponsors and advocates and advanced the bill to fiscal review.","The House Judiciary Committee voted 7-4 to send Senate Bill 155 to Appropriations after testimony from program participants, corrections advocates, and county commissioners; the bill would codify and fund the existing 'Legislation Inside' program run in partnership with the Department of Corrections and outside contractors.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6049939,"House Judiciary Committee advances Uniform Antitrust Premerger Notification Act to appropriations",1387,73000,1460000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3506977-650c7805dbe4f7e27ac21208dcdf6dfe&start=73&end=1460","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3506977-650c7805dbe4f7e27ac21208dcdf6dfe/thumbnail_73000.jpg","/articles/6049939/Colorado/House-Judiciary-Committee-advances-Uniform-Antitrust-Premerger-Notification-Act-to-appropriations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6049939-b29bc8740bc259f353f04bddbfe29194/orig.mp4?Expires=1770438054&Signature=kpIQRtWth7DZZDwejywTmYzyZvNV4nOh98sLOwnTTcd0Ml8ilPOjFV70~fpUPimK3Z4oFTboj8IwDJJzGIfF15PNHtQZ~bg7TD4T1m3hAgD-XsBCxX8VARehqWNHJiEz9cnPjdCxZGOgBlHERIFVZllgwy4WRf9b5m3TKoU-tUt047z644UwAznHSCbDY10azkcD31EUrqTelcvkiH87RfFF9B6aJ9U~ly1bT-3H3I3~tSwKCJ7QLC50Rn3j~N6IqJkNJLdurkAjJd441J46Pgr8AE2rvc6VpCZdAZpfENGFthcsHj7SQoE0cCQwyCfVTh8jonvP3mycP4-hNoUftA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Representative Espinosa urged the committee to approve Senate Bill 126, a Uniform Law Commission draft that would require companies subject to federal Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) premerger filing thresholds to provide the same filing materials to the Colorado attorney general at the same time they file with federal agencies. \"This is a good consumer protection bill,\" Representative Espinosa said, arguing simultaneous access gives the attorney general time to decide whether to investigate or intervene.

The bill’s proponents, including Anne McGahn, chair of the Colorado Commission on Uniform State Laws, and Uniform Law Commission staff, said the act is intended to place state attorneys general on a similar timetable as federal enforcers and to include statutory confidentiality protections. Dan Robbins, immediate past president of the Uniform Law Commission, said the drafting process included federal and state agencies and business stakeholders and that the confidentiality rules mirror federal protections.

Opponents warned of business burdens and confidentiality risks. Mike Blank of CTIA, the wireless industry trade association, testified in opposition: \"Forcing businesses to file with multiple states when no additional review is needed is unnecessary,\" he said, adding that HSR submissions are \"highly confidential and competitively sensitive\" and that mandatory state-level filings could increase leak risk and transaction costs.

Representative Soper questioned whether the bill created any new authority for the attorney general; Espinosa replied the act does not expand AG authority but provides simultaneous access and explicit confidentiality and public-record exemptions, including a CORA exemption, to protect sensitive commercial information.

After brief questioning and no amendments, Representative Espinosa moved the bill to the Appropriations Committee with a favorable recommendation. The motion passed on a roll-call vote, 7-4.","The House Judiciary Committee voted 7-4 to send Senate Bill 126, a Uniform Law Commission proposal to give Colorado's attorney general simultaneous access to Hart-Scott-Rodino merger filings and add confidentiality protections, to the Appropriations Committee after testimony for and against the measure.","actionData","errors"]
