02:29 PM -- House Bill 06-1153


Senator Mitchell, sponsor, presented House Bill 06-1153 concerning changes to Colorado's sex offender registration laws. The bill as amended by the House Judiciary Committee on February 2, 2006, eliminated the bill's provision creating a new Class 6 felony for individuals who assist a sexually violent predator with eluding address verification. As such, the amended bill removes the additional costs identified for the Department of Corrections as well as the potential increase in new fine revenue.
However, the bill still requires the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to use analytical resources to determine the possible whereabouts of sex offenders who fail to register. The CBI is required to provide this information to local law enforcement agencies to help them locate and apprehend sex offenders. The bill also requires sex offenders who live in cars, trailers, or mobile homes to provide vehicle specific information (VIN, license plate number, registration, etc.) to authorities when registering as a sex offender.
