Update: Gov. Jared Polis signed SB 24-216 into law on Friday, May 31.

People who want library books removed from circulation or reclassified on library shelves could no longer remain anonymous under a bill garnering support in the Colorado legislature.

Senate Bill 24-216, which passed the Senate Education Committee on Monday evening, would make public library “request for reconsideration” forms subject to disclosure under the Colorado Open Records Act rather than records protected by Colorado’s library-user privacy statute.

In a case involving the Crested Butte News, the Colorado Court of Appeals ruled last year that the forms are a “service” under the plain language of the privacy law, which prohibits libraries from disclosing records or information that identify a person “as having requested or obtained specific materials or service or as otherwise having used the library.”
