---|
19 | | - | SECTION 1. Legislative declaration. (1) The general assembly |
---|
20 | | - | finds and declares that: |
---|
21 | | - | (a) Young adulthood, which is commonly considered to be ages 19 |
---|
22 | | - | to 24, is a time of often stressful transitions during which some major |

---|
31 | | - | undiagnosed behavioral health problems often face academic and personal |
---|
32 | | - | problems and sometimes drop out of school. This age group also has a |
---|
33 | | - | significantly higher rate of suicide compared to youth ages 10 to 18. The |
---|
34 | | - | Colorado department of public health and environment reports that between |
---|
35 | | - | 2003 and 2017 there were 1,290 suicides among young adults ages 19 to 24 |
---|
36 | | - | and 696 suicides among youth ages 10 to 18. |
---|
37 | | - | (b) Providing access to mental health care is one way to prevent |
---|
38 | | - | suicide. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention reports in a 2022 |
---|
39 | | - | policy paper on suicide on university and college campuses that only half |
---|
40 | | - | of enrolled students said they knew where to find mental health services. |
---|
41 | | - | This suggests that postsecondary institutions should make students more |
---|
42 | | - | aware of suicide prevention resources and services. |
---|
43 | | - | (2) Therefore, it is the intent of the general assembly that this bill |
---|
44 | | - | increase awareness of mental health resources, and the general assembly |
---|
45 | | - | recognizes this awareness as an important step toward preventing suicide |
---|
46 | | - | and promoting well-being among young adults. |

47 | | - | SECTION 2. In Colorado Revised Statutes, amend 23-5-109 as |
---|
48 | | - | follows: |
---|
49 | | - | 23-5-109. Identification - suicide and crisis prevention - rules. |
---|
50 | | - | (1) The governing board of any state institution of higher education is |
---|
51 | | - | authorized to promulgate rules and regulations |
---|
52 | | - | establishing a system of |
---|
53 | | - | identification of students, faculty, and staff which THAT may include |
---|
54 | | - | provisions for penalties other than criminal penalties and provisions for |
---|
55 | | - | disciplinary action for failure to display one's identification card upon |
---|
56 | | - | request by an authorized official, possession of a false identification card, |
---|
57 | | - | and alteration of an identification card. The authorized officials of such |
---|
58 | | - | institution have authority to detain a person upon the property under the |
---|
59 | | - | control of the institution for the purpose of obtaining proper identification |
---|
60 | | - | if such person refuses to display his |
---|
61 | | - | THE PERSON'S identification card or |
---|
62 | | - | otherwise give adequate identification upon request by an authorized |
