Update – June 4, 2026: The Judicial Department has removed the Senate Bill 25-276 certification requirement from Colorado Courts E-Filing (CCE) as of June 4, in accordance with House Bill 26-1276.
In May 2025, SB25-276 added the Judicial Branch to the definition of "state agency," making the Department subject to C.R.S. § 24-74-105. That statute requires third parties to certify annually, under penalty of perjury, before accessing nonpublic personal identifying information through a state database or automated network. The certification states that third parties will not use or disclose that information for federal immigration enforcement unless federal law, state law, or a court-issued subpoena, warrant, or order requires the use or disclosure.
Because CCE contains some nonpublic personal identifying information accessible to certain attorneys, licensed legal paraprofessionals, and self-represented litigants, the law required the Department to add the certification before granting access to the system. The Department therefore implemented the certification in March 2026.
HB26-1276 adds subsection (3) to C.R.S. § 24-74-105, which now expressly excludes CCE users from the certification requirement. As a result, the Department has removed the certification prompt from CCE.
