within this message. If you can show up on Wednesday at 1:30, please send a quick RSVP.
In Colorado, state law currently does not allow an adult to seal a criminal record.
This ensures that people convicted of a crime, no matter how long ago and no matter
how successful they are in life, will forever be stigmatized and possibly discriminated
against in housing and employment due to their criminal record. This bill can make a very
real difference in thousands of lives across the state.
Representative Mike Cerbo (D-Denver) introduced HB 07-1107 on January 15th that
would allow people to petition the court to seal a criminal record after 10 years following
the completion of a sentence or release from supervision. This bill is coming before the
House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday February 7 at 1:30.
In an effort to show support for this legislation please call the committee members and
attend the committee hearing so that they realize how serious this issue is.
