Colorado legislators are discussing a bill that would modify the existing offense of obstructing government operations by including repeated emergency calls without a justifiable basis.
The bill, if passed, wouldn't cost the state money as laid out in the fiscal note.
In the summary of the bill, Senate Bill 25-060 explains the bill prohibits someone from repeatedly calling a public safety emergency call center without a justifiable reason. It allows verbal, or text messages, written warnings. If the person continues to contact 911 or emergency call centers after the warning they would be in violation and would be committing a crime of obstructing government operations, a class 2 misdemeanor.
The bill is expected to be on the Senate Floor on Monday for a third and final reading before moving to the House.
