Bill > HB1294

This bill eliminates a previous sunset provision in Colorado law that was set to automatically repeal a statute related to outstanding balances owed by juveniles in the justice system on June 30, 2025. By removing the repeal language in Section 18-1.3-704(3), the bill effectively makes permanent the prior changes established by House Bill 21-1315, which likely reduced or eliminated certain monetary obligations for juveniles involved in the criminal justice system. This means that juveniles will continue to be exempt from certain court costs or financial assessments that they were previously required to pay. The bill appears to be a technical correction to ensure that the financial protections for juveniles remain in place beyond the originally planned expiration date, without imposing any new substantive changes to the existing law.
