A raft of legislation from the 2016 session is set to become law on Jan. 1. Eleven bills will either fully or partially take effect, including a measure cracking down on people misrepresenting service dogs and another addressing human trafficking of children:

House Bill 1426 – Will create a penalty for misrepresenting a dog as a service animal when the dog has never been trained. A fine for a first offense is $25; second offense is between $50 and $200; and a third offense is between $100 and $500.

House Bill 1224 – Requires social services to be offered when a county determines that a child has been the victim of human trafficking. The bill also will create a universal screening tool to determine if a child has been the victim of human trafficking.

Senate Bill 19 – Requires that when investigating serious felony charges, interviews must be video and audio recorded and preserved. Interviews would extend to psychiatric examinations.

House Bill 1095 – Requires that health plans which provide coverage for prescription eyedrops cover renewals in some cases.

House Bill 1103 – Changes requirements for psychologist candidates seeking licensure, allowing them to register with the database of registered psychotherapists, though hours accrued will not count toward licensure requirements.

House Bill 1165 – Makes changes to Colorado child support guidelines in an effort to meet past-due child support obligations.

House Bill 1175 – Streamlines a process that has made it difficult for the state to prevent seniors, disabled veterans and married couples from claiming multiple property tax exemptions.
