Bill > HB1076

This bill introduces several changes to motor vehicle regulations in Colorado, focusing primarily on document protection and digital identification. The bill creates a new legal definition for "vehicular document piracy," which makes it illegal to create, distribute, advertise, sell, or alter documents that simulate or closely resemble official motor vehicle documents like license plates, driver's licenses, titles, and registrations. Individuals who violate this provision can be subject to a civil fine of up to $1,000, except for those who have received written permission from the Department of Revenue. The bill also updates various sections of Colorado law to reference this new provision and adds a section allowing for electronic mobile identification documents, which will become available in January 2026. Additionally, the bill makes several technical changes to driver's license regulations, such as modifying medical review processes, allowing fee rounding, and updating requirements for instruction permits. The Motor Vehicle Investigations Unit will be empowered to cancel or deny official documents for fraudulent use or incorrect application information. These changes aim to prevent document fraud, modernize identification systems, and streamline motor vehicle administrative processes.
