07:02 PM -- HB16-1110
Representative Neville, sponsor, presented House Bill 16-1110 to the committee. The bill codifies the Parent's Bill of Rights in state statute, which states that the liberty interests of a parent in the care, custody, and control of his or her child are a fundamental right. It further specifies that neither the state nor local governments may infringe upon the rights of parents without first showing that there is a compelling governmental interest in doing so and that there is not a less restrictive means of achieving the governmental interest. The bill specifies that its provisions do not prohibit the courts, law enforcement, or other state or local agencies from acting within the scope of their authority and in their official capacities in matters concerning child welfare services.
