House Bill 25-1081, introduced in the Colorado General Assembly on January 13, 2025, mandates that beginning with the Judicial Department's 2026 SMART Act hearing, the State Court Administrator must report detailed statistics on restitution payments over the previous five fiscal years. This initiative aims to enhance transparency and accountability within the state's judicial system by providing comprehensive data on restitution payments made to victims and insurance companies. The reported statistics will include the total amount of restitution paid and demographic breakdowns of individuals owing restitution, categorized by race, gender, and age. This data aims to shed light on the demographics of those affected by restitution obligations, potentially highlighting disparities within the system. The bill has been assigned to the House Judiciary Committee for further deliberation.
