Date Apr 12, 2023      
Location HCR 0107



HB23-1268 - Amended, referred to the Committee of the Whole


01:31:06 PM  
Representative Evans and Representative Lukens, co-prime bill sponsors, presented House Bill 23-1268, concerning changes to the process for a person serving a criminal sentence in Colorado for a conviction in another state to participate in a private treatment program. Under current law, Colorado is a part of the Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision, which includes all 50 states and 3 territories. The compact allows states to track the supervision of offenders who move across state lines. When a supervised or unsupervised person comes to Colorado for a private treatment program, the private treatment program cannot admit or accept the person unless certain requirements are met. This bill clarifies the process and parameters to be admitted into a program.
