Bill	Increase Surcharge For Trafficking Children	Current law requires each person who is convicted of a crime against a child to pay a surcharge to the clerk of the court for the judicial district in which the conviction occurs. The bill adds the crime of human trafficking of a minor for sexual servitude to the definition of crime against a child for purposes of the surcharge. For a class 2 felony, the amount of the fine is $1,500. The bill states that if the class 2 felony is for human trafficking of a minor for involuntary servitude or for human trafficking of a minor for sexual servitude, then the amount of the fine is $3,000. Additionally, in cases where an offender is required to pay the new surcharge, the court is encouraged to delay any finding of indigence until 6 months after the offender's conviction, at which time the court may require the defendant or defendant's counsel to submit documents that substantiate the defendant's indigence.	us/states/co	Colorado General Assembly	2018A	SB 18-055	Colorado SB 18-055 (2018A)	bill		enacted	Edie Hooton Kevin Van Winkle Tim Neville	8	15	4	2018-01-11T07:00:00+00:00	2018-04-23T06:00:00+00:00	openstates	ocd-bill/e942514b-96ce-4506-b04f-ef8bed5b2384	http://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb18-055	eae29e8e9874fa9cfe0e6c3081b4f6b25249ed3e368e4f996e53c5a6e04789bc	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-co
