HB 18-1152

HB 18-1152 is a Colorado bill that updates the state's open records law (CORA) to make certain sexual harassment complaint documents within the judicial department accessible to both complainants and those accused of harassment. Previously, these records were not available for public viewing under CORA. The bill also ensures this provision will be in effect until May 1, 2021. Since it has been signed into law, the changes are now active and affect how sexual harassment complaints within the judicial system are handled and disclosed.
