The inventory will consist of all active local governments such as a city, county, special district, or school district maintained by the Department of Local Affairs. If this bill is signed into action, each local government will be given 12 months to submit their information to this online inventory. They will be required to submit their official name, their principal address, the name of the local government entity’s agent and the mailing address of the associated agent.

House Bill 12-1244 has gained approval from the House and is now heading to the Governor to be signed. To read the full bill go to: http://www.statebillinfo.com/bills/bills/12/1244_rer.pdf

The inventory is required to be accessible electronically from their database. If you require any information from this database the state will charge users a fee to access the data related to agents authorized to receive notices of claims under the “Colorado Governmental Immunity Act” (CGIA).
