SB26-011 Social Media Search Warrants – Support (Sens. Lisa Frizell and Dylan Roberts / Rep. Andew Boesenecker). Requires websites, online services, online applications, and mobile applications to streamline processes for Colorado law enforcement to contact the platform at all times. The process must include a staffed hotline for receiving and responding to search warrants, acknowledging search warrants within 8 hours, provide status updates on search warrants, and generally comply with search warrants within 72 hours. A court may extend the time if deemed justified.
HB26-1021 Second Amendment Protection Act – Strongly Oppose (Reps. Brandi Bradley and Max Brooks). Assigned to House Judiciary. Repeals almost every gun violence prevention law enacted in Colorado from 2013 to 2025, as well as concealed carry prohibitions from 2003. The list of repealed laws is extensive and includes background checks on private sales, safe storage, ammunition regulations, gun show regulations, gun dealer regulations, and gun dealer permitting as well as many other laws. It repeals the office of gun violence prevention and requires the return of monies collected under several programs to the persons who provided the monies.
