Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
9 provisions identified: 6 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Fines for fake vehicle and ID documents
The law bans making, distributing, advertising, selling, promoting, completing, or altering documents that closely resemble covered official vehicle or identification documents. Violations carry a civil fine of up to $1,000, on top of other applicable penalties. Exceptions cover people with the Department of Revenue’s express written permission and department agents doing official work.
Drivers get broader medical review options
Advanced practice registered nurses can now provide written medical opinions for driver licensing decisions. The Department of Revenue can require an opinion only when it has reason to believe someone cannot drive safely. The law also protects these nurses from civil or criminal action for opinions given in good faith and without malice.
License applicants drop vehicle registration pledge
License and instruction permit applicants no longer must promise to register owned vehicles within 30 days after becoming Colorado residents. This removes an application condition, not any separate vehicle registration duty.
More adults can sign teen driving logs
Beginning April 1, 2026, a parent, guardian, or responsible adult can sign a minor’s driving log or other written proof. The signer no longer has to be the person who signed the liability affidavit. Applicants under 18 need proof of at least 50 supervised driving hours, including at least 10 hours at night.
More disabled veterans qualify for fee waivers
Veterans with a service-connected disability of at least 50% no longer need that disability to be permanent for this annual registration fee waiver. Other qualifying routes include specified federal benefits, loss of use of hands or feet, or qualifying blindness in both eyes. The waiver covers only one vehicle at a time, including a qualifying vehicle the same veteran buys later.
Permit access clarified for adults 21-plus
Beginning April 1, 2026, Colorado expressly allows instruction permits for applicants age 21 or older. Applicants must satisfy the state’s license application and examination requirements.
State protections cover vehicle authorization forms
Colorado’s power of attorney rules and protections now apply to covered Department of Revenue vehicle forms. These forms let an agent act for a vehicle owner in covered vehicle matters.
License fee increases can be rounded
The Department of Revenue can round increases in driver’s license, identification card, and related service fees to the nearest dollar. The existing 5% annual increase cap still applies. The law does not set a new fee amount.
Foreign government vehicles lose fee exemption
The law ends a no-fee Colorado registration provision for vehicles owned by foreign governments, consuls, and other officially recognized foreign representatives. It also repeals the associated state-issued license plate provision. These owners no longer receive that registration fee exemption.
