HB 18-1356

House Bill 18-1356 is a Colorado law that updates existing rules for sex offenders who move out of state. It ensures that when these individuals fail to file the necessary paperwork to cancel their registration in their former state, they can be charged with a crime. The bill clarifies and connects this requirement to the specific part of the law that outlines it. Since the bill has been signed into law, sex offenders who don't follow through with this cancellation process will now face legal consequences as defined by the updated statute.
