Protect Safety of Individuals Who Are Immigrants

Summary

The bill gives Colorado health agencies the power to inspect any local, county or private facility that detains non‑citizens for civil immigration cases. Facilities must undergo annual and quarterly unannounced inspections, submit detailed health and safety reports, and keep medical and mental‑health staff on site; failure to comply can trigger civil penalties of up to $50,000 per violation. Collected penalties are directed to the state’s immigration legal defense fund.
