Corporate Information More Secure Under New Law

DENVER—Rep. B.J. Nikkel’s bill to increase security for online business filings through the Secretary of State’s office was signed into law on Friday.

House Bill 1095 requires the Department of State to implement a password-protected system for online business filings and take appropriate action to address fraudulent activities involving business filings and records.

“This is a common-sense bill that keeps sensitive business information from getting into the wrong hands,” said Nikkel, R-Loveland.  “By taking these extra precautions, we continue to build an environment that fosters economic growth here in Colorado.”

House Bill 1095 passed both the House and Senate unanimously.  The measure went into effect immediately with the governor’s signature.
