Colorado bail agent rules extend to 2034

Colorado extends regulation of professional cash-bail agents and cash-bonding agents from the scheduled 2026 repeal to September 1, 2034. Before repeal, the state must review the insurance commissioner's and division's duties through its sunset review process. The law does not specify changes to household payments, benefits, or costs. It takes effect at 12:01 a.m. the day after the 90-day period following the legislature's final adjournment. That date is August 12, 2026, if final adjournment is May 13, 2026. A referendum petition filed within that period against the law or any part delays the challenged provisions. They take effect only after voter approval in November 2026 and the governor's official declaration of the vote.
