I. Introduction
On May 25, 2020, Governor /u/cubascastrodistrict signed into law B.229, the so-called "Child Abuse Prevention and Investigation Act" (hereinafter "the Act"). The Act, defines "child abuse" broadly so as to include:
> Inflicting or causing, allowing, or creating a substantial risk of physical injury, other than by accident, that causes death, disfigurement, impairment of physical or emotional health, or loss or impairment of any bodily function; committing or allowing to be committed any sex offense; torture, excessive corporal punishment, female genital mutilation; giving child access to controlled substances
The Act defines "child abuse" so broadly that providing a child Ritalin, even if the child has a legitimate prescription for Ritalin (or, likewise, providing a child a prescription for Ritalin or filling that prescription, even when medically warranted) could constitute "child abuse."
Operating with this broad definition of child abuse, the Act requires:
extensive investigation by multiple state employees of "any and all cases of suspected abuse", even when the case is determined to be "unfounded";
the creation of a "Child Abuser database," containing "the personal information of the Abuser, including: current location of employment, full name and other known aliases, date of birth, current address, any phone numbers or email addresses known to be associated with the subject, criminal history, name and age of any biological children, or any child living or regularly in contact with the abuser";
any child abuser to provide updated information to the state government for the purposes of maintaining the database.
Furthermore, the Act applies not only to persons subsequently convicted but to all persons to whom the definitions of the Act apply. The Act states that "[a]ny Abuser of Children" (defined as someone ever convicted child abuse as defined above) must have their "information" added to the database and then imposes requirements on any person "added to the database."
II. Ex Post Facto Law
The Act imposes punishment upon persons for acts they have already committed and accordingly violates the ex post facto clause of the Constitution. That provision provides that “[n]o State shall . . . pass any . . . ex post facto Law.” U.S. Const. art. I § 10, cl. 1. "A statute is enforced retroactively if it governs conduct that preceded the statute's enactment." Shaw v. Patton, 823 F.3d 556, 560 (10th Cir. 2016) (citin
