HB 17-1334

House Bill 17-1334, also known as the "Process Servers Registration Act," requires process servers in Colorado to register with a state agency before they can work. This means that anyone who wants to serve legal documents must now get approval from DORA (the Department of Regulatory Agencies). The bill was signed into law and will affect all individuals currently working or planning to work as process servers, ensuring they meet certain standards and are regulated by the state.

Official Summary

Under current law, process servers are not subject to regulation by any state agency. Section 1 of the bill creates the 'Process Servers Registration Act' and makes it unlawful for a person to act as a process server without first obtaining registration from the division of professions and occupations in the department of regulatory agencies (DORA). Section 2 requires a review of the division's duties and functions in registering process servers after 7 years under the existing sunset laws. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
