Bill > SB131

This bill aims to protect personal identifying information kept by state agencies in Colorado. Key provisions include: - Defining "personal identifying information" broadly to include a wide range of information that could be used to identify an individual, such as name, date of birth, Social Security number, employment and financial records, and immigration/citizenship status. - Prohibiting state agency employees from disclosing personal identifying information for the purpose of assisting with federal immigration enforcement, except as required by law or court order. - Limiting the ability of state agencies to collect certain information related to immigration status and barring them from using this information for immigration enforcement purposes, with some exceptions. - Requiring third parties seeking access to state agency databases containing personal identifying information to certify they will not use the information for immigration enforcement. - Mandating state agencies to keep detailed records of requests for personal identifying information and report this information quarterly to the Governor's Office. - Imposing civil penalties of up to $50,000 on state agency employees who intentionally violate the bill's provisions. The bill aims to protect Coloradans' privacy and encourage them to access state services without fear of their personal information being used for immigration enforcement.
