Over the last year, the SOMB has been in the process of undergoing a Sunset Review by the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA). Per the Sunset Bill (SB23-164), the SOMB is required to form a subcommittee with representatives from the Board, Treatment Providers, the Department of Corrections (DOC), Department of Corrections Parole and the State Parole Board to develop solutions to address treatment resources for sexual offenders who are incarcerated, in the custody of the DOC and required to participate in treatment.
Information Regarding the September 6th Meeting
The SOMB/DOC Treatment Solutions Subcommittee will be holding a Public Testimony meeting on September 6th, 2023 from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM Mountain Time at Douglas County Fairgrounds in Castle Rock, CO.
For those who wish to testify either in-person or virtually via WebEx, please note that your testimony will be limited to 3 minutes. If you wish to provide written testimony instead, this can be of any length. Your testimony must be related to the development of general policies, practices, and procedures regarding the Department of Corrections (DOC) Sex Offender Treatment and Monitoring Program (SOTMP). Testimony related to an individual or a specific case is not allowed, and no specific requests for assistance related to an individual case will be addressed. Discussion of individual experiences may be used as part of your testimony but must be focused on the requested change in policy and practice.
