Status: in_force

24-31-607. In camera review - confidentiality of materials - criminal penalty. (1) (a) The safe2tell program and persons implementing and operating the program shall not be compelled to produce any materials except on the motion of a criminal defendant to the court in which the offense is being tried, supported by an affidavit establishing that the materials contain impeachment evidence or evidence that is exculpatory to the defendant in the trial of that offense.

(b) If the defendant's motion is granted, the court shall conduct an ex parte in camera review of materials produced under the defendant's subpoena.

(c) If the court determines that the produced materials contain impeachment evidence or evidence that is exculpatory to the defendant, the court shall order the materials to be produced to the defendant pursuant to a protective order that includes, at a minimum, the redaction of the reporting party's identity and limitations on the use of the materials, as needed, unless contrary to state or federal law. Any materials excised pursuant to a judicial order following the in camera review shall be sealed and preserved in the records of the court, to be made available to the appellate court in the event of an appeal. After the time for appeal has expired, the court shall return the materials to the program.

(2) (a) Materials created or obtained through the implementation or operation of the program are confidential, and a person shall not disclose the material. The program and persons implementing or operating the program may be compelled to produce the materials only before a court or other tribunal and only pursuant to court order for an in camera review.

The attorney general acting on behalf of the safe2tell program shall have standing in any action to oppose the disclosure of materials in the custody of the safe2tell program.

(b) A person who knowingly discloses materials in violation of the provisions of this subsection (2) commits a class 1 misdemeanor.

(3) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, upon request by a law enforcement agency, the attorney general may disclose to law enforcement personnel any materials or information obtained through the implementation or operation of the program if the attorney general reasonably deems such disclosure necessary for the prevention of imminent physical harm or serious bodily injury to one or more persons.

(4) (a) (I) Notwithstanding subsections (2)(a) and (2)(b) of this section, a court may issue a court order for production of records, under seal, on request of a law enforcement agency, public safety agency, or district attorney, for program materials identifying a reporting party if the court, following an in-camera review of an affidavit and any other relevant material or evidence provided under seal by the requesting party, determines probable cause exists that a reporting party to the program knowingly used the program in the commission of false reporting of an emergency, as defined in section 18-8-111 (2), and that release of program materials is justified on balance in view of the probable violation and the program purpose of anonymity.

(II) Any such request for a court order for production of records may be filed only after reasonable notice is provided to the attorney general. The requesting party shall note any response from the attorney general in the affidavit and the court shall consider the note in reviewing any application for a court order under this section.

(b) (I) A court shall order that a warrant issued pursuant to subsection (4)(a) of this section, and any related evidence used to obtain such warrant, be sealed. The program and any law enforcement agency, public safety agency, or district attorney that receives information pursuant to subsection (4)(a) of this section shall keep the information confidential.

(II) (A) A court may lift the sealing and confidentiality of the information, prior to the filing of charges, only on a motion of a district attorney upon showing of good cause following an in-camera review of the information. The district attorney shall provide reasonable notice and the opportunity to respond to the department of any motion to lift the seal filed pursuant to this section, prior to filing a motion pursuant to this section.

(B) Upon filing of charges against any person for charges that rely on information provided pursuant to a court order under this section, any sealing order will immediately expire and the information is subject to discovery obligations and necessary protective orders to preclude further dissemination of the material.

(c) If a district attorney is considering filing any criminal charges as a result of a production of records issued pursuant to subsection (4)(a) of this section, the district attorney shall first consider referring the alleged responsible person for an assessment for suitability to participate in restorative justice practices.

Status: in_force

24-36-302. Legislative declaration. (1) The general assembly finds and declares that:

(a) The COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating economic and health consequences across the state, negatively impacting many Coloradans and disproportionately harming individuals and households that were already economically insecure;

(b) The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many low- and moderate-income individuals and households to lose income due to the loss of employment, spend down their savings, borrow from friends, and incur more debt;

(c) As a result of the recession precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, long-term economic challenges continue for many in Colorado, due to, among other factors, damaged consumer credit scores and reduced familial and childhood well-being;

(d) Further, many individuals and households facing financial insecurity, including unserved and underserved populations, lack access to financial and banking services, including affordable loans, to help address economic insecurity;

(e) Together with financial coaching and safe and affordable banking products, low-cost loans are an important tool to build long-term financial health;

(f) By incentivizing financial institutions to issue loans to impacted individuals and households through a loan loss reserve, buying down interest rates, or providing lending capital, the state can foster long-term transformative change for individuals and households impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic or its negative economic impacts;

(g) With one-time money, the state can catalyze positive market forces that exist outside of state government, leveraging new, or freeing up existing, resources to support the creation of affordable lending products currently unavailable to many Coloradans; and

(h) Therefore, the creation of a household financial recovery pilot program supports the long-term recovery of Colorado individuals and households impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and is an appropriate response to the harm caused by the COVID-19 pandemic or its negative economic impacts.

24-4.1-107.5. Confidentiality of materials - definitions. (1) For purposes of this section, unless the context otherwise requires:

(a) "In camera review" means the judge views the material in private, without either party present.

(b) "Materials" means any records, claims, writings, documents, or information.

(2) Any materials received, made, or kept by a board or a district attorney to process a claim on behalf of a crime victim under this article are confidential. The district attorney shall have standing in any action to oppose the disclosure of any such materials. A board shall not provide through discovery in any civil or criminal action any exhibits, medical records, psychological records, counseling records, work records, criminal investigation records, criminal court case records, witness statements, telephone records, and other records of any type or nature whatsoever gathered for the purpose of evaluating whether to compensate a victim except:

(a) In the event of the review by the court of an order or decision of the board pursuant to section 24-4.1-106, and then only to the extent narrowly and necessary to obtain court review; or

(b) Upon a strict showing to the court in a separate civil or a criminal action that particular information or documents are known to exist only in board records. The court may inspect in camera such records to determine whether the specific requested information exists. If the court determines that the specific information sought exists in the board's records, the documents may then be released only by court order if the court finds as part of its order that the documents will not pose any threat to the safety or welfare of the victim or any other person whose identity may appear in the board's records, or violate any other privilege or confidentiality right.

(3) In a proceeding for determining the amount of restitution, if the defendant's request is not speculative and is based on an evidentiary hypothesis that warrants an in camera review to rebut the presumption established in section 18-1.3-603, C.R.S., the court may release additional information contained in the records of the board only after an in camera review and additionally finding that the information:

(a) Is necessary for the defendant to dispute the amount claimed for restitution; and

(b) Will not pose any threat to the safety or welfare of the victim, or any other person whose identity may appear in the board's records, or violate any other privilege or confidentiality right.

(1) In addition to disaster prevention and mitigation measures as included in the state, local, and interjurisdictional emergency management plans, the governor shall consider steps that could be taken on a continuing basis to prevent or reduce the harmful consequences of and effectively recover from disasters. At the governor's direction, and pursuant to any other authority and competence they have, state agencies, including those charged with responsibilities in connection with floodplain management, stream encroachment and flow regulation, weather modification, fire prevention and control, hazard mitigation, air quality, public works, land use and land-use planning, and construction standards, shall make studies of matters related to disaster prevention. The governor and the executive director, from time to time, shall make recommendations to the general assembly, local governments, and such other appropriate public and private entities as may facilitate measures for prevention or reduction of the harmful consequences of disasters.

(2) All state departments shall conduct studies and adopt measures to reduce the impact of, and actions contributory to, a disaster. The studies shall concentrate on means of reducing or avoiding the dangers caused by such occurrences or the consequences thereof. State departments shall provide information about the accomplishments and successes of these projects when requested by the office of emergency management or the Colorado resiliency office for reporting purposes.

(3) If the director of the office of emergency management believes, on the basis of the studies or other competent evidence, that an area is susceptible to a disaster of catastrophic proportions without adequate warning, that existing building standards and land-use controls in that area are inadequate and could add substantially to the magnitude of the disaster, and that changes in zoning regulations, other land-use regulations, or building requirements are essential in order to further the purposes of this section, the director shall specify the essential changes to the executive director and to the governor. If the governor, upon review of the recommendations, finds after public hearing that the changes are essential, the governor shall so recommend to the agencies or local governments with jurisdictions over the area and subject matter. If no action or insufficient action pursuant to the governor's recommendations is taken within the time specified by the governor, the governor shall so inform the general assembly and request legislative action appropriate to mitigate the impact of disaster.

(4) The governor, at the same time that the governor makes recommendations pursuant to subsection (3) of this section, may suspend the standard or control which the governor finds to be inadequate to protect the public safety and by regulation place a new standard or control in effect. The new standard or control shall remain in effect until rejected by joint resolution of both houses of the general assembly or amended by the governor. During the time it is in effect, the standard or control contained in the governor's regulation shall be administered and given full effect by all relevant regulatory agencies of the state and local governments to which it applies. The governor's action is subject to judicial review but shall not be subject to temporary stay pending litigation.

(e) Any other criteria consistent with the purposes of this part 8 that are deemed necessary by the department.

(3) The department shall create and maintain a list of all nonprofit agencies that have attained self-certified vendor status and shall make the list available to the department of personnel pursuant to rules promulgated by the executive director.

(4) A nonprofit agency's self-certified vendor status is valid for up to five years after the date that the nonprofit agency's self-certification application was approved. A nonprofit agency is required to reapply to the department, at a time and in a manner determined by the department, for self-certified vendor status to be eligible to respond to a set aside solicitation pursuant to this part 8.

(5) (a) Nothing in this part 8 shall be construed to require a nonprofit agency that seeks to respond to services solicitations to become a self-certified vendor; except that a nonprofit agency shall not be eligible to bid for a set aside solicitation pursuant to this part 8 unless the nonprofit agency is self-certified pursuant to this section.

(b) Nothing in this part 8 shall be construed to prevent a nonprofit agency from bidding on any state agency solicitation that is not a set aside solicitation pursuant to this part 8.

(III) Targeting higher-wage jobs for Coloradans;

(IV) Enhancing education, job training, and skills development programs; and

(b) The standard required pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection (2) shall:

(I) Rely to the extent possible, on data reported by the United States census bureau, United States department of housing and urban development, and on other data reported to state and federal agencies using standardized methodology;

(II) Determine housing costs using fair market rents for apartments as reported by the United States department of housing and urban development;

All private and public funds received through gifts, grants, or donations shall be transmitted to the state treasurer, who shall credit the same to the self-sufficiency standard fund, which fund is hereby created and referred to in this section as the "fund". The moneys in the fund shall be continuously appropriated for the direct and indirect costs associated with the implementation of this section.
