HB 24-1238

House Bill 24-1238 requires foreign governments designated by the U.S. Secretary of State as state sponsors of terrorism to register with the Colorado Secretary of State if they own real property in Colorado. They must either register by March 1, 2025, or within 60 days of acquiring such property. This bill affects any foreign government listed as a sponsor of terrorism that owns land in Colorado. Since the bill has been signed into law, it is now enforceable and these governments are expected to comply with the registration requirements.
