The 2026 Colorado legislative session ended in May after 120 days, hundreds of bills, and a tight, high-stakes budget. Would Kyle Giddings of the Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition give this session’s criminal-legal developments an A, a B, an F…? Listen or watch to find out, as Colorado Radio for Justice host JoyBelle Phelan invites Giddings to break down what passed and what changed, including the “second look” post-conviction bill (SB 26-115), restitution reform limiting insurance companies’ role as restitution “victims,” and a reentry support bill (SB 26-1256) requiring $100 gate money and preventing DOC from denying IDs due to legal financial obligations. They also discuss a trauma-informed training requirement for peace officers; Giddings’ personal experience navigating steep restitution interest rates; and much more.
