Bill > HB1140

This bill modifies existing Colorado state law regarding probation officers' ability to share personal information with federal immigration authorities by allowing such disclosure specifically when an individual is on probation for certain serious violent felony offenses. The bill expands the circumstances under which probation officers can provide personal information about an individual to federal immigration authorities, creating exceptions to previous restrictions. The specific violent felonies for which disclosure would be permitted include first and second degree murder, first degree assault, first degree kidnapping, first or second degree sexual assault, first degree arson, first degree burglary, and aggravated robbery. By creating these specific exceptions, the bill aims to facilitate potential immigration enforcement actions for individuals convicted of these particularly serious crimes while maintaining prior protections against broad information sharing for less severe offenses. The bill includes a standard safety clause asserting its importance for public peace and safety, which is typical in legislative measures.
