On 24 March 2006 and 31 March 2006 , we reported on Colorado House Bill 1357 (HB 1357). Governor Owens signed the amended bill on 24 April 2006. As amended, the law will close marriage applications that are less than 50 years old to all but immediate family members. Applications that are older than 50 years will remain open records that can be inspected by the public.
