CO SB102

Requires health care providers to disclose to patients any final conviction or guilty plea for sex offenses as defined in Colorado law, effective March 1, 2021.

Mandates disclosure of final agency actions resulting in probation or practice limitations when based on sex offense convictions, guilty pleas, or findings of sexual misconduct causing patient harm or presenting significant risk of public harm.

Providers must give written disclosure before providing professional services, including specific information about the offense, conviction date, probation terms, practice limitations, and regulator contact information for filing complaints.

Patients must sign an acknowledgment of receipt before treatment; this acknowledgment does not waive future claims against the provider, and disclosure requirements end once probation or limitations are satisfied.

Failure to comply constitutes grounds for professional discipline but does not create a private right of action; exceptions apply for unconscious patients, emergency situations, and providers without direct patient contact.
