CO HB1160

Authorizes cities, counties, city and counties, or community-based nonprofits to establish multiagency family justice centers providing coordinated services for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, elder or dependent adult abuse, and human trafficking in one location.

Centers must include staff from law enforcement, medical personnel, district and city attorneys, victim advocates, domestic violence shelters, social services, child welfare, health departments, legal aid, and other support professionals working collaboratively.

Requires centers to consult with community-based victim service providers and survivors throughout operations, establish client feedback processes, and maintain confidentiality protections consistent with state and federal privacy laws.

Mandates written, time-limited consent from victims before sharing information with center staff or partners, except for mandatory reporters, certified peace officers, and prosecutors who must report certain information by law.

Allows victims to receive counseling, medical care, and other services without requiring participation in the criminal justice system or cooperation with law enforcement.
