Castle Rock council affirms town positions on pending state bills, including immigration information-sharing measure
Summary
Castle Rock Town Council voted unanimously to affirm staff-recommended positions on pending state legislation, including opposition to a proposed bill that town staff said would limit sharing information with federal immigration authorities.
Castle Rock Town Council voted unanimously to affirm staff recommendations on its positions for the 2025 Colorado legislative session, including opposing a bill town staff said would "continue to prohibit our ability to share information with federal law enforcement in regards to immigration." Council member Dietz moved the motion; Council member Davis seconded and the motion passed by roll call vote.
The vote followed a presentation from town staff summarizing bills the town is tracking. Town Manager David, speaking for staff, told the council the proposed immigration-related bill advised against by the Colorado Municipal League (CML) would erode the town's ability to cooperate with federal authorities. Staff asked council to direct the town to communicate its positions to the local legislative delegation and CML.
Council members discussed the broader list of tracked bills. Town staff highlighted other measures of concern or interest, including a bill (referred to as 1093 in the materials) that staff said may affect local land-use conditions for annexations and a bill described in the presentation as easing liabilities for condominium construction. A staff member identified as Matt summarized several other bills and noted many remain in flux as the session proceeds.
The motion recorded an affirmative vote from every council member present. The town manager said staff would transmit the town—positions to the town's legislative delegation and to CML.
The action leaves the town's formal positions in place while the General Assembly closes the session; staff told the council they would continue to monitor bills and report back.
