Bill	Driver's License Suspension Leaving Accident Scene	Currently, the department of revenue (department) is required to revoke the driver's license of a driver convicted of leaving the scene of an accident involving serious bodily injury or death. The bill allows the department to also suspend the license when, based on a preponderance of the evidence, a driver left the scene of an accident involving serious bodily injury or death. If both the suspension and revocation are imposed as a result of the same episode of driving, the bill requires the department to run the suspension and the revocation concurrently.	us/states/co	Colorado General Assembly	2017A	HB 17-1277	Colorado HB 17-1277 (2017A)	bill		enacted	Beth Martinez Humenik Diane Mitsch Bush	12	15	7	2017-03-17T06:00:00+00:00	2017-06-05T06:00:00+00:00	openstates	ocd-bill/0eccd9f4-4666-48db-bb01-34a4f56f6c61	http://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb17-1277	0140b042994a1a93245d730b1b5db269cfb457232509d904189f72665418fc5a	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-co
