The Colorado House adopted Senate Bill 129, a package of legal protections aimed at limiting out‑of‑state enforcement or civil actions that target people or entities for providing legally protected health‑care services in Colorado, including reproductive health care and gender‑affirming care.

Key provisions include prohibitions on Colorado public entities and state‑based businesses responding to out‑of‑state civil or criminal inquiries or subpoenas that seek to impose liability for "legally protected health care activity"; a requirement that anyone requesting a subpoena affirm under penalty of perjury that the subpoena is not intended for use in investigations or prosecutions related to protected health care activity; and changes to prescription labeling for mifepristone, misoprostol, and generic equivalents to allow the prescribing practice name rather than the individual practitioner's name at the practitioner's request.

The bill also tightens confidentiality of induced‑termination reporting held by the Department of Public Health and Environment: personally identifying data cannot be collected as part of induced‑termination reporting, reports must be used only for aggregate statistical purposes, and records with very small counts must not be released. The measure gives the state attorney general enforcement authority for several provisions.

Supporters said the legislation protects Coloradans and Colorado businesses from out‑of‑state legal jeopardy and preserves access to care. Opponents questioned federal‑state interplay and warned about procedural effects on investigations and subpoenas. The bill passed by recorded vote; the adoption on third reading was 39‑20 with six excused.

Outcome and next steps: Senate Bill 129 becomes law on enactment; parties potentially affected by out‑of‑state subpoenas and investigations — health providers, pharmacies, insurers and public agencies — will need to review compliance procedures. The attorney general's office may receive enforcement matters related to the new prohibitions.
