Procedures & Data Individual's Release from Department of Corrections
Governor Signed
Summary
The bill mandates that anyone leaving a Colorado correctional facility receives a $100 allowance that cannot be deducted for fees, appropriate clothing, and state‑funded transportation to their residence. It also requires the Department of Corrections to ensure each eligible person gets a state‑issued ID before release and to publish annual data on these services. The goal is to improve re‑entry outcomes and public safety during the critical first weeks after release.
