Summary
This bill, titled the Colorado Survivor Justice Act, makes two changes to Colorado's automated protection order notification system. First, it removes the requirement that the notification system include information about whether a restrained person submitted a firearm purchase or transfer application indicating ineligibility to possess firearms. Second, it expands access to the notification system information by requiring that the Colorado Integrated Criminal Justice Information System Program make the information available to the Division of Criminal Justice, in addition to the existing provision requiring the Colorado Bureau of Investigation to do so. These changes modify both what information is tracked and which agencies have access to it.
AI-generated plain-language summary of the bill (from the OpenStates abstract — no full text available yet) — neutral, and may be imperfect.
Official abstract
Current law requires that the automated protection order notification system (notification system) include information about whether a restrained person completed and submitted a firearm purchase or transfer application that indicated the restrained person was ineligible to possess a firearm pursuant to state or federal law. The act repeals this provision. Current law requires the Colorado bureau of investigation to make the information in the notification system available to the division of criminal justice (division) for the purpose of providing the information to a protected person. The act requires the Colorado integrated criminal justice information system program to also make the information available to the division.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
