Small Business Asks Polis for Three Vetoes
- Senate Bill 23-058, concerning required disclosures of age-related information on job applications. It is already a common practice to not request a date of birth or other age identifying information on an initial job application. Once the job offer is made this information is made available along with pertinent criminal background checks.
- Senate Bill 23-105, concerning the implementation of measures to ensure equal pay for equal work. The Colorado Legislature has passed multiple versions of equal pay for equal work requirements. The last major policy was passed in 2019. Some of that legislation has just recently resulted in employers located outside of Colorado returning to the Colorado job market for out-of-state workers. Colorado cannot afford to disrupt the markets for those looking to work.
- Senate Bill 23-172, concerning protections for Colorado workers against discriminatory employment practices. This piece of legislation duplicates current law in many instances. However, the bill goes further to redefine the definition of harassment and to order the Colorado Civil Rights Division to include on any intake or intake form of a complaint the option to choose harassment as a condition of the complaint.
