SB 17-154

Senate Bill 17-154, also known as the Uniform Unsworn Declarations Act, updates Colorado law to allow for both foreign and domestic unsworn declarations to be used in state courts. This means that individuals can submit written statements without having to swear an oath or appear in person, which can simplify legal processes for people dealing with court matters. The bill has been signed into law, so it is now active and being implemented in Colorado's judicial system.
