07:07 PM -- House Bill 09-1190

Representative Levy, prime sponsor, presented House Bill 09-1190 concerning the enactment of the Uniform Unsworn Foreign Declarations Act. The bill was recommended by the Colorado Commission on Uniform State Laws. It establishes the "Uniform Unsworn Foreign Declarations Act", as drafted by the National Conference of Commissioners of Uniform State Laws. The bill harmonizes state law with federal law by allowing state courts to recognize an unsworn statement made by a witness outside the United States as the equivalent of a sworn affidavit if the statement is given under the penalty of perjury. The bill also specifies situations where an unsworn declaration may not be used.
