Colorado Newsline: Video and audio footage showing a police officer’s deadly use of force would need to be released to the family of the person killed under a bill on track to pass the Colorado Legislature.

The Colorado House of Representatives gave preliminary approval to Senate Bill 26-290 on Tuesday. It needs one final vote on Wednesday, the final day of the legislative session, to land on the desk of Gov. Jared Polis.

“This bill came to us on behalf of families who have lost children, that we believe in this free country of ours, should have the right without impediment and barrier to at least see the footage of what surrounded the death of their children,” bill sponsor Rep. Jennifer Bacon, a Denver Democrat, said on the House floor.
