WTF happened to Colorado? It used to be such a nice place, I even always wanted to leave California for Colorado back in the 1980s… Now Colorado is just as bad, if not worse than California with big city communist filth like in Denver and bills like this. Remember, this is the same Colorado that tried to keep Trump off the ballot too! They are full communist in that state. I didn’t think legalizing pot what have such a negative impact on that once great state.
A bill before the Colorado state legislature would require a deceased person’s gender identity be recorded on their certificate of death under penalty of a fine and/or jail time for anyone who “knowingly and willfully violates” the measure, which one critic told Fox News was an “insane” effort that compels speech.
Under the proposed law – sponsored by Democratic state Reps. Karen McCormick and Kyle Brown and state Sen. Mike Weissman – if a document memorializing the decedent’s gender identity is presented, the individual completing the death certificate must record the decedent’s sex based on that identity. If this is thwarted in any way, the penalty is a class 2 misdemeanor, which in Colorado is punishable by up to 120 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $750.
“The state registrar must also amend the certificate of death to reflect a legal name change if the appropriate legal name change documentation is submitted to the state registrar,” the bill states.
