Colorado Revised Statutes Title 23. Postsecondary Education § 23-5-109. Identification--suicide and crisis prevention--rules

(1) The governing board of any state institution of higher education is authorized to promulgate rules establishing a system of identification of students, faculty, and staff that may include provisions for penalties other than criminal penalties and provisions for disciplinary action for failure to display one's identification card upon request by an authorized official, possession of a false identification card, and alteration of an identification card. The authorized officials of such institution have authority to detain a person upon the property under the control of the institution for the purpose of obtaining proper identification if such person refuses to display the person's identification card or otherwise give adequate identification upon request by an authorized official.

(2) Each student identification card issued after August 1, 2023, to a public or private postsecondary school student must include the phone number and text talk number for the statewide behavioral health crisis response system, commonly referred to as “Colorado crisis services”, as described in section 27-60-104, and the national three-digit suicide and crisis lifeline number 988. The public or private postsecondary school may include information about other available crisis services and other services on the identification card, including local campus crisis and suicide prevention numbers. The public or private postsecondary school is not required to reprint or reissue identification cards in use before August 1, 2023. If, at any time, a private or public postsecondary school has current students still using identification cards without the information required by this section, the school shall distribute the phone number and text talk number for Colorado crisis services, as described in section 27-60-104, and the national three-digit suicide and crisis lifeline number 988 to all students at the beginning of each school semester or trimester until all students have identification cards with the required information. If a private or public postsecondary school does not issue or use student identification cards, the school shall distribute the phone number and text talk number for Colorado crisis services, as described in section 27-60-104, and the national three-digit suicide and crisis lifeline number 988 to all students at the beginning of each school semester or trimester.
