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… - License applicants drop vehicle registration pledge: benefit, low. 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: benefit, low. 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.

These forms let an agent act for a vehicle owner in covered vehicle matters. - Fines for fake vehicle and ID documents: cost, medium. 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 Dep… - License fee increases can be rounded: cost, low. 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: cost, low. 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. ## Sponsors and cosponsors - Sponsor: Andrew Boesenecker (Democratic), House - Sponsor: Cleave Simpson (Republican), Senate - Sponsor: Lisa Cutter (Democratic), Senate - Sponsor: Mandy Lindsay (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Elizabeth Velasco (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Jennifer Bacon (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Julie McCluskie (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Michael Carter (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Monica Duran (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Dafna Michaelson Jenet (Democratic), Senate - Cosponsor: Janice Marchman (Democratic), Senate - Cosponsor: Nick Hinrichsen (Democratic), Senate - Cosponsor: Sen.
