HJR 1025 Colorado House · 2026 Regular Session

Sexual Assault Awareness Month Denim Day 2026

This bill officially recognizes April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month and designates April 29, 2026, as Colorado Denim Day. The resolution commemorates the global campaign where people wear jeans to protest victim-blaming attitudes toward sexual assault survivors. It also acknowledges the work of organizations like the Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault in supporting survivors and addressing sexual violence. The measure is a symbolic gesture that does not change laws or allocate funding, but instead raises public awareness about the issue.

MINOR

The bill was signed into law as Act 2026, converting the legislative text from a draft format to a final enacted statute. The substantive policy content, including the designation of April 2026 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month and April 29, 2026, as Colorado Denim Day, remains unchanged. The primary modifications involve the addition of new 'Whereas' clauses that provide historical context and highlight the critical need for funding support services, while also removing draft-specific annotations and signatures.

CONTEXT

Added new clauses detailing the history of the movement and the urgent funding crisis facing victim support service providers.

TECHNICAL

Removed draft session headers, committee lists, and legislative annotations (e.g., 'Shading denotes HOUSE amendment') as the bill was finalized.

Updated the document title and formatting to reflect its status as a signed act rather than a revised draft.
