All sentences with restitution orders entered on or after September 1, 2000 are subject to simple interest at the rate of 8% per year. Interest is assessed monthly and calculated on the outstanding restitution principal amount, with limited exceptions noted in Section 18-1.3-603, C.R.S. Interest continues to accrue as long as there is an outstanding restitution principal balance. 

The Colorado Judicial Department has an ADA grievance process through the Office of the State Court Administrator by which an individual may seek review of a decision concerning reasonable accommodation. A grievance form, with a copy of the previous decision included, should be submitted within 60 days of the alleged violation to the Director of Human Resources or a designee at the Colorado State Court Administrator's Office, 1300 Broadway, Suite 1200, Denver, CO 80203.

Each year Colorado is required to create a new jury list. A list of names is created including voter records, drivers’ licenses, non-driver ids, and state income tax records. In order to be compliant with United States Postal Service standards, each summons is run through a process to check for the most recent address available and that address is placed on the summons. Summonses are processed and mailed by a vendor, not local jury commissioners.
 

Reasonable notice must be given to consider an accommodation request without causing undue disruption to the court proceeding. If the request relates to a jury summons, the individual should contact the Jury Commissioner as far in advance as possible by contacting the person indicated on the summons or listed on the Judicial Department’s website at Jury Commissioners.

If the request concerns a particular court proceeding, the request should be made a minimum of five days in advance, if practicable, to allow for consideration of the request and to arrange for reasonable accommodation.

A person with a disability who meets the essential eligibility requirements for the program or service offered by the court or probation with or without reasonable accommodation. For example, the accommodation would need to enable the person to meet the statutory requirement that he or she be able to read, speak and understand the English language to serve on a jury. Similarly, a witness, with or without accommodation, must be able to express his or her thoughts and be capable of understanding the duty to tell the truth.

If you require an ADA accommodation, please submit an ADA Request at least 5 days prior to the date of your jury service. An ADA request must include a specific reasonable accommodation that may assist you to serve as a juror. If there are no reasonable accommodations that will assist you to serve as a juror, please complete either a Postponement or Disqualification form depending on which will best serve your situation. Visit the ADA Accommodation program for additional information on the Americans with Disabilities Act and ADA coordinators.
