Bill Summary

CONCERNING MEASURES TO PREVENT THE VIOLATION OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF PERSONS IN COLORADO BASED ON IMMIGRATION STATUS, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, REDUCING AN APPROPRIATION.

AI Summary

This bill aims to protect the civil rights of individuals in Colorado, particularly those related to immigration status, by establishing comprehensive restrictions on how state and local government agencies can collect, use, and share personal information. The bill reinforces constitutional protections by preventing state and local employees from participating in federal immigration enforcement operations, prohibiting the collection of immigration-related data in most circumstances, and creating strict guidelines for handling sensitive information. Key provisions include preventing law enforcement from detaining individuals based on civil immigration detainers, restricting state agencies and political subdivisions from inquiring about immigration status, and mandating that public institutions like schools, healthcare facilities, and libraries adopt policies that protect individuals' privacy. The bill also establishes civil penalties for intentional violations, with any collected penalties being transferred to an Immigration Legal Defense Fund to support indigent individuals in immigration proceedings. Additionally, the legislation emphasizes that these protections apply to all persons in Colorado, regardless of their citizenship or immigration status, and are designed to maintain public trust and ensure that individuals can access essential services without fear of immigration enforcement.
