Law Enforcement National Electronic Tracing System & Share Program
Governor Signed
Summary
The bill requires every Colorado police, sheriff, campus, town marshal, and other law‑enforcement agencies to register for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ National Electronic Tracing System by September 1 2026 and opt into its collective data‑sharing feature. When they recover or confiscate a firearm tied to a criminal investigation, they must upload the firearm’s identifying information to the system within 90 days, unless the gun is unrelated to criminal activity. The measure aims to give agencies faster, standardized information to track gun movement and combat trafficking.
