Dear Local Government Official:
Your annual certification is due indicating you are cooperating with federal officials in
matters concerning the enforcement of state and federal laws regarding immigration as
required by Article 29 of Title 29, Colorado Revised Statutes, (SB06-90). Without your
compliance certification, your local government is ineligible to receive financial assistance
through grants administered by the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA). This affects any
new awards, reimbursements, supplemental increases, reallocations and budget
modifications.
As a result of a state audit conducted in May 2009, the General Assembly determined that
local governments need to annually certify the following: 1 ) no immigration sanctuary
policies have been implemented; 2) peace officers have been provided written notification of
their duty to cooperate with state and federal officials regarding the enforcement of
immigration laws; and 3) the local government has submitted its report to Legislative Council
on the number of arrestees reported to ICE during the previous calendar year. This
certification form is enclosed and also posted on the department's website at
www.dola.colorado.gov. Please complete and return to DOLA, 1313 Sherman Street,
Denver, CO 80203, Attn: Dianne Rogers.
Your written confirmation to the General Assembly confirming you have provided such
notice is due annually, on or before March 1, to the Legislative Council of the General
Assembly. Also, you must report to the General Assembly the number of reports made to
the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office as required under article 29
of Title 29, C.R.S. This report may be filed by downloading the form from
www.leq.state.co.us click on Senate Bill 06-090 Immigration Reporting. Follow the
directions on the website to complete the form and fax or mail it to the Office of the
Legislative Council, Room 029 State Capitol Building, Denver, CO 80203-1784.
It is imperative DOLA receive your certifications and notice from the Legislative Council that
you have filed a report before you will be considered to be in compliance with SB06-90.
This must occur prior to DOLA issuing any grant awards or reimbursement requests. If you
have any questions or concerns regarding the report, please contact Stephanie Smith from
the Legislative Council directly at 303-866-4784. For questions regarding certification, you
may contact Dianne Rogers from DOLA at 303-866-2156.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
