Six months after widespread racial justice protests catalyzed the Colorado General Assembly to pass sweeping reforms to policing and law enforcement accountability, the Democratic majority is planning to push the envelope further. âThe entire General Assembly, especially and particularly my side of the aisle â the Democratic side of the aisle â have taken up the mantra of law enforcement accountability,â said Rep. Leslie Herod, D-Denver, one of the chief proponents of Senate Bill 217 in the 2020 session. Herod said she plans to bring forward technical changes to SB217, though she emphasized there will be âno substantial changesâ to major features like the elimination of qualified immunity as a defense for police officers.
