HB23-1043 

Currently, kin who have been convicted of certain offenses are
disqualified from being considered as a potential placement option
for kids in the child welfare system. Amend C.R.S. 19-3-406 &
C.R.S. 19-3-407 to clarify the convictions that disqualify someone from consideration, to reflect new crimes that have been added over the years, and – in some cases – to specify timeframes for convictions.

SB23-105

Under current application of the Equal Pay Act (C.R.S. 8-5-201), employers must post a job notification on their website when an employee receives a promotion in an existing role or class of job. This places an extra administrative burden on Human Resources and is unnecessary for those progressing along a pre-defined advancement track.  Seek reforms to the Equal Pay Act relating to job reclassification, auto flex employee advancement and other promotions in order to provide flexibility and relief for organizations that are moving employees along a pre-defined advancement track or updating job descriptions that qualify employees for adjusted compensation.

HB23-1194

Many county-owned landfills closed years or decades ago in accordance with regulations at the time of closure. As the state continues to identify new emerging contaminants, addressing any environmental or public health risks from closed landfills is important. However, because counties are the fiscal agents of county resources and face restraints imposed by the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR) to generate additional revenue, counties cannot take on environmental remediation of closed landfills alone. Create a new grant program, or expand an existing one, to provide funding for environmental remediation and maintenance of closed public landfills.

Increased visitation to state parks and wildlife areas is taking a toll on locally maintained roads that service these state assets. Authorize local governments to 1) assess an additional fee on daily vehicle passes, and 2) create a grant fund using dollars over the state’s financial goals for the Keep Colorado Wild pass, to which local governments can apply in order to fund the maintenance of local roads leading directly to state parks and wildlife areas.
