CO HB1134

Creates civil liability for Colorado jurisdictions and elected officials who adopt "sanctuary jurisdiction" policies that restrict cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, allowing crime victims to sue for compensatory damages up to $700,000 per person for injuries or $350,000 per person for property damage.

Defines "sanctuary jurisdiction" as any jurisdiction that prohibits or restricts officials from cooperating with federal immigration authorities, sharing immigration status information, inquiring about immigration status during investigations, or detaining individuals identified as illegal aliens.

Establishes a new Class 4 felony crime for elected officials who create sanctuary jurisdictions that result in criminal activity by illegal aliens who established residency in those jurisdictions.

Requires all Colorado jurisdictions to submit annual compliance reports to the Department of Public Safety confirming cooperation with federal immigration enforcement and report the number of individuals reported to Immigration and Customs Enforcement; the state controller must withhold state funds from non-compliant jurisdictions.

Allows private citizens to file affidavits with the Attorney General or district attorney requesting criminal charges or grand jury investigation if they know of crimes committed by illegal aliens in sanctuary jurisdictions, with prosecutors having 49 days to respond.
