Position Paper: HB26-1257, Local Regulation of Massage Facilities
February 24, 2026
HB26-1257: Your SUPPORT is Respectfully Requested
HB24-1371 inadvertently restricted the regulatory tools that home rule municipalities have successfully used for years to shut down “illicit massage facilities” — establishments that exploit the guise of legitimate massage services to facilitate human trafficking, drug distribution, money laundering, and fraud.
House Bill 26-1257, Local Regulation of Massage Facilities, restores the ability to use the regulatory tools necessary to combat illicit activity occurring in these facilities. -
Position Paper: SB26-070, Ban Government Access to Historical Location Information
February 20, 2026
SB26-070: Your NO Vote is Respectfully Requested
Senate Bill 26-070 -Ban Government Access to Historical Location Information, would place significant and unworkable restrictions on a law enforcement’s ability to use automated license plate reader (ALPR) technology and other historical location information. Cities and towns are already on the frontlines of creating reasonable guardrails around this technology. SB26-070 doesn’t build on those efforts, it overrides them with rigid, statewide mandates that do not reflect how investigations work. While framed as a privacy measure, SB26-070 ties the hands of law enforcement to use lawfully collected information for legitimate public safety purposes and victim assistance. -
