Polis signs bill protecting personal information of Coloradans who submit claims for wildlife damage

Denver7: Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has signed a bipartisan bill that Colorado Parks and Wildlife says “more or less codifies existing practice” for the state’s wolf damage program by ensuring all personal information is kept confidential for an individual who requests compensation for destruction caused by wildlife.

While the bill stemmed from wolf depredations on livestock over the past year, this new law encompasses damage by any wildlife.

Senate Bill 25-038, titled “Wildlife Damage Protection of Personal Information,” was introduced on Jan. 8. It passed in the Colorado Senate unanimously on Feb. 5 and passed in the Colorado House of Representatives on Feb. 28. It was signed into law administratively on Thursday by Gov. Polis.
