SB 18-032

Senate Bill 18-032, titled "Title 12 Relocation," is a Colorado law that moves certain sections of existing laws from one part of the state's legal code to another. Specifically, it reorganizes laws related to parental notification for medical procedures, firearms dealers, background checks at gun shows, and unsworn declarations. This bill has been signed into law, meaning these changes are now in effect and will make the legal code easier to navigate by grouping similar laws together. The changes affect how these specific laws are organized but do not alter their content or enforcement.
