Bill > HB1258

This bill, titled the Community and Law Enforcement Trust Act, aims to enhance public safety and build trust between immigrant communities and local law enforcement by removing requirements that public safety agencies participate in enforcing federal immigration laws. The General Assembly finds that compelling local officials to enforce federal immigration issues can erode public trust and divert resources from local public safety concerns, which are the primary responsibility of the federal government. By repealing Article 29 of Title 29 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, the bill seeks to allow local governments to focus their time, energy, and resources on local public safety matters, thereby promoting community policing, civil liberties, and ensuring equal protection for all residents without limiting state or local government responsibilities under federal law.
