The Denver Post: Colorado courts will now need to suppress name change records for minors under a new law signed by Gov. Jared Polis.

Polis signed Senate Bill 18 into law administratively on Monday, without a signing ceremony. The law, which takes effect July 1, will require courts to keep records of petitions for a legal name change from public view if the petitioner is younger than 18 at the time of filing.

The law is aimed at protecting the privacy of trans youth and their families.
