The Denver Post: A new bill proposed by Colorado lawmakers would tighten oversight of their own security while removing their personal and financial records from publicly available databases, a move that comes nearly a year after a gunman killed a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband in their home.

House Bill 1422, introduced Wednesday by a bipartisan trio of legislators, would create a new security administrator position within the legislature. It would task that person with fielding security concerns from legislators and acting as the General Assembly’s point person for safety issues.

Capitol security is now overseen by the Colorado State Patrol. While the bill would not alter the patrol’s duties in the building, the new security official would act as a liaison with the patrol while also monitoring threats and advising lawmakers on how to handle them.
