CORA and Firestone Records
The Colorado Open Records Act applies to all government agencies that hold Firestone records. CORA is the law that gives you the right to request public documents. It covers county offices, state agencies, and local government entities.
Make your request in writing. Email works. So does a letter or an online form if the agency has one. Describe what you want as clearly as you can. Names, dates, and record types help the staff locate documents quickly. The agency must respond within three business days.
That response might be the records themselves for simple requests. For larger or more complex requests, the response will tell you if the records exist, whether they are public, and how much it will cost to get copies. You can then decide whether to proceed.
If your request gets denied, the agency has to give you a reason. They must cite the specific statute that allows them to withhold the records. You have the right to appeal. Some legal aid organizations provide free help with CORA appeals for qualifying individuals.
