Colorado rules
What Colorado requires
Colorado sets its own rules for who may interpret, and where. Here is what applies today, with the official source for each.
Who can be called a sign language interpreter
Colorado protects the title. Under HB19-1069 (2019), the interpreter and translator titles for sign language are reserved for interpreters certified by the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID) or holding a certification approved by the state’s Commission for the Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and DeafBlind.

Courts and legal proceedings
Interpreters and captioners in Colorado state courts must hold a Colorado Status I or II Court/Legal designation, coordinated by Legal Communication Access Services (LCAS) at SENSE Colorado. Law enforcement and prosecutors must use the LCAS provider list for arrests and witness or victim interviews.
K–12 schools
Educational interpreters in Colorado public schools need an Educational Interpreter authorization from the Colorado Department of Education, which requires a score of 3.5 or higher on the Educational Interpreter Performance Assessment (EIPA).

What may change next
HB26-1109 (2026) requires a study of consumer protections for sign language interpreting services in Colorado, including how other states regulate interpreters. The final report is due by July 1, 2028.
