CO HB1052

Expands the definition of "caseworker" to "human services worker" to include employees working in child abuse/neglect investigations, adult mistreatment investigations, child support enforcement, public benefits eligibility determinations, and juvenile detention/youth services.

Makes it unlawful for a person to knowingly publish personal information (home address, phone numbers, email, photographs, or directions to home/vehicle) of human services workers or their immediate families on the internet if it poses an imminent and serious threat to their safety and the person knows or reasonably should know of the threat.

Allows human services workers to submit a written request to state or local government officials to remove their personal information from internet-accessible records, with officials required to comply once receiving such a request.

Requires removal requests to include evidence that the person is a human services worker and an affidavit stating under penalty of perjury that the public dissemination poses an imminent and serious threat to their safety or their immediate family's safety.

Takes effect August 5, 2020, or upon voter approval if a referendum petition is filed within 90 days of final adjournment.
