The bill makes it a deceptive trade practice under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act for a private custodian of criminal justice records to knowingly fail to remove sealed criminal justice records from the private custodian's database after receiving a copy of a court order sealing those criminal justice records. The bill requires that whenever a court enters an order sealing criminal justice records, the court must provide to the petitioner a set of standard written instructions developed by the judicial department containing contact information for each private custodian of criminal justice records and explaining the process for providing notice of the sealing of criminal justice records to private custodians of those records.
