A Senate committee on Monday gave unanimous approval to a bill aimed at streamlining and clarifying sex-offender registration.
House Bill 1278, sponsored by Sen. John Morse, D-Colorado Springs, would make several changes to the law about who must register as a sex offender in Colorado, as well as clarifying the responsibilities of law enforcement and the court system in processing sex offenders.
Under current law, the state may classify a person as a “sexually violent predator” based on his or her classification outside Colorado. HB 1278 defines this requirement and also gives such people the right to appeal the classification.
