HB 22-1160

House Bill 22-1160, which has been signed into law, allows cities, counties, and community-based nonprofit organizations in Colorado to set up Family Justice Centers. These centers aim to provide a one-stop location where victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, elder abuse, and human trafficking can receive all the necessary support services from various agencies and professionals. The bill is now active, meaning these centers can start being established across the state to help protect and assist those in need.
