(2) A defendant who makes a motion to have the defendant's criminal records sealed pursuant to this section is not required to pay any fees or costs associated with sealing the record.

(3) The district attorney may only object to the sealing of a record pursuant to this section if the district attorney has a good-faith belief that the offense the defendant is seeking to seal is illegal at the time the motion to seal is made. If the district attorney does not object within forty-two days after the date of the motion to seal the record, the court shall order the record sealed regardless of other convictions on the defendant's record.

(4) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 24-72-706 (1)(c), a defendant who files a motion pursuant to this section shall not be required to submit a verified copy of the defendant's criminal history with the motion.

Status: in_force

24-103-1001. Legislative declaration. (1) The general assembly hereby finds, determines, and declares that:

(a) It is imperative and the public policy of Colorado that the state procurement process be free from bias so that all qualified persons and entities may compete for state business;

(b) A fair procurement process not only ensures justice and fairness in state contracting but will broaden the procurement contractor pool, which will result in efficiencies statewide and, as warranted, promote the growth of historically underutilized businesses, thereby creating jobs and stimulating the state's economy;

(c) Although studies establishing discrimination in procurement for certain industries or in certain localities have been conducted, a comprehensive analysis of state contracts awarded to historically underutilized businesses has not yet been commissioned;

(d) The United States supreme court has recognized that disparity studies are tools that seek to qualify and quantify past discrimination and recommend certain corrective measures as may be warranted by the study's findings;

(e) If any disparities exist, such a study is essential to the ultimate achievement of a marketplace in which historically underutilized businesses are not subject to discrimination and can obtain a fair market share of contract expenditures; and

(f) Therefore, it is the intent of the general assembly, consistent with the code's stated policies of ensuring the fair and equitable treatment of persons who deal with the procurement system and fostering effective broad-based competition within the free enterprise system, that an independent study be commissioned to:

(I) Determine the frequency with which state contracts are awarded to historically underutilized businesses and the monetary amounts of such awards, compared to the frequency and size of contracts awarded to other businesses; and

(II) To the extent that the study establishes that disparities attributable to past or present discrimination exist or inhere in the state procurement process, to recommend remedial measures to address the effects of that discrimination.

24-51-1010. Increase in benefits - actuarial assessment required. (1) Before increasing benefits provided by the association, the general assembly shall cause to be conducted pursuant to subsection (2) of this section an actuarial assessment to ensure that the increases in benefits would not cause the actuarial value of assets of the association to decline below ninety percent of the actuarial accrued liabilities of the association.

(2) Upon direction from the president of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives, the director of research of the legislative council shall contract with a private person to conduct an actuarial assessment of the association. The assessment shall be conducted to determine whether and to what extent an increase in the benefits provided by the association would cause the actuarial value of the assets of the association to decline below ninety percent of the actuarial accrued liabilities of the association. The assessment shall be completed and a final report of its findings and conclusions shall be submitted to the general assembly as soon as practicable. The person conducting the actuarial assessment of the association and such person's employees shall, during the term of the contract, have access to any necessary documents and information in the custody of the association.

(a) (I) A child, including an adopted child, of the deceased member, so long as the child is living, under the age of eighteen years, and unmarried; except that where an eligible member dies on or after January 1, 1988, the definition of an eligible child shall include:

(A) An unmarried child under the age of twenty-three years who is enrolled on a full-time basis, within four months of the member's death, in a duly accredited school; or

(II) Adoptions involving an otherwise eligible child and occurring subsequent to the death of the member shall terminate the eligibility of such a child, unless such adoption is by the unremarried surviving spouse of the member, and in such a case eligibility of the child shall be terminated by a subsequent remarriage of said surviving spouse.

(b) The surviving widow or widower of the deceased member who has not remarried and has in her or his care a child eligible to receive benefits as set forth in paragraph (a) of this subsection (1). If benefits are payable under said paragraph (a) or this paragraph (b), the DPS plan document shall govern any amounts due to any unremarried widow or widower.

Dependence of a surviving parent must be established by a showing to the association beyond reasonable doubt that such parent was dependent upon the deceased member for not less than one-half of the parent's support and actually received such support from the deceased member during the six-month period prior to the death of such member.

(2) Effective for surviving spouses of members who die on or after January 1, 1984, eligibility for beneficiaries as described in paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of subsection (1) of this section will not be forfeited by remarriage.

24-32-702. Legislative declaration
Status: in_force

24-32-702. Legislative declaration. (1) It is hereby declared that there exists in this state a need for additional adequate, safe, sanitary, and energy-efficient new and rehabilitated dwelling units; that a need exists for assistance to families in securing new or rehabilitated rental housing; and that, unless the supply of housing units is increased, a large number of residents of this state will be compelled to live under unsanitary, overcrowded, and unsafe conditions to the detriment of their health, welfare, and well-being and to that of the communities of which they are a part. It is further declared that coordination and cooperation among private enterprise and state and local government are essential to the provision of adequate housing, and to that end it is desirable to create a division of housing within the department of local affairs. The general assembly further declares that the enactment of these provisions as set forth in this part 7 are for the public and statewide interest.

(2) The general assembly further finds that, in an effort to meet the housing needs within the state, the private housing and construction industry has developed mass production techniques which can substantially reduce housing construction costs and that the mass production of housing, consisting primarily of factory manufacture of dwelling units, presents unique problems with respect to the establishment of uniform health and safety standards and inspection procedures. The general assembly further finds that by minimizing the problems of standards and inspection procedures it is demonstrating its intention to encourage the reduction of housing construction costs and to make housing and home ownership more feasible for all residents of the state.

(3) The general assembly further finds that, in an effort to meet the housing needs within the state through the use of manufactured housing units, it is necessary to require state supervision of compliance with government-approved codes of manufacture, such as the uniform building code and the federal regulations governing manufactured housing units. It is the intent of the general assembly that such supervision be accomplished primarily through the use of private inspection and certification entities to the extent allowed by the state constitution, the "State Personnel System Act", article 50 of this title, and the rules promulgated by the state personnel board.

(4) The general assembly further finds and declares that:

(a) Publicly-assisted rental housing that is affordable to low- and moderate-income persons should be preserved; and

(b) The division of housing should encourage property owners to notify the division when affordable housing units will be lost as housing for low- or moderate-income persons, so that the division may explore options for preserving the affordable housing resources.

This energy code must apply to factory-built structures and hotels, motels, and multifamily structures in areas of the state where no construction standards for hotels, motels, and multifamily structures exist.

(b) Nothing in this subsection (3.5) establishes standards applicable to manufactured homes constructed pursuant to the "National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974", established in 42 U.S.C. sec. 5401, et seq., and any corresponding regulations promulgated by the United States department of housing and urban development in 24 CFR 3280, et seq.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection (3.5), the division may make any amendments to an energy code that the division deems appropriate, so long as the amendments do not decrease the effectiveness or energy efficiency of the energy code.

Status: in_force

24-21-625. Volunteer services - legislative declaration - immunity. (1) The Colorado constitution recognizes that the conduct of charitable gaming activities is directly related to the need of nonprofit organizations to fulfill their lawful purposes. Notwithstanding this recognition, however, the willingness of bingo-raffle volunteers to offer their services has been increasingly deterred by a perception that they put personal assets at risk should a tort action be filed seeking damages arising from their volunteer activities.

(2) All bingo-raffle volunteers are immune from civil actions and liabilities pursuant to section 13-21-115.5, which provides that volunteers are not personally liable for their acts or omissions if they are acting in good faith and within the scope of their official function and duty for a charitable organization, with respect to such organization's conduct of games of chance. Bingo-raffle volunteers are not liable under this section if the harm is not caused by willful and wanton misconduct, gross negligence, reckless misconduct, or a conscious, flagrant indifference to the rights or safety of the individual harmed.

A state or local governmental entity may reimburse the treasurer for any reasonable travel expenses incurred by the treasurer in providing technical assistance pursuant to this subsection (6.5) to such state or local governmental entity.

(7) The state treasurer shall have such other powers, duties, and functions as are prescribed for heads of principal departments in the "Administrative Organization Act of 1968", article 1 of this title.

(IV) Not require an applicant or employee affected by pregnancy, physical recovery from childbirth, or a related condition to accept an accommodation that the applicant or employee has not requested or an accommodation that is unnecessary for the applicant or employee to perform the essential functions of the job; and

(V) Not require an employee to take leave if the employer can provide another reasonable accommodation for the employee's pregnancy, physical recovery from childbirth, or related condition.

(b) An employer may require an employee or applicant to provide a note stating the necessity of a reasonable accommodation from a licensed health-care provider before providing a reasonable accommodation.

(2) If an applicant or an employee requests an accommodation, the employer and applicant or employee shall engage in a timely, good-faith, and interactive process to determine effective, reasonable accommodations for the applicant or employee for conditions related to pregnancy, physical recovery from childbirth, or a related condition.

(3) (a) The employer shall provide written notice of the right to be free from discriminatory or unfair employment practices pursuant to this section to:

(I) New employees at the start of employment; and

(II) Existing employees within one hundred twenty days after August 10, 2016.

(b) The employer shall post the required notice in a conspicuous place in the employer's place of business in an area accessible to employees.

(4) As used in this section:

Status: in_force

24-4-101.5. Legislative declaration. The general assembly finds that an agency should not regulate or restrict the freedom of any person to conduct his or her affairs, use his or her property, or deal with others on mutually agreeable terms unless it finds, after a full consideration of the effects of the agency action, that the action would benefit the public interest and encourage the benefits of a free enterprise system for the citizens of this state. The general assembly also finds that many government programs may be adopted without stating the direct and indirect costs to consumers and businesses and without consideration of such costs in relation to the benefits to be derived from the programs. The general assembly further recognizes that agency action taken without evaluation of its economic impact may have unintended effects, which may include barriers to competition, reduced economic efficiency, reduced consumer choice, increased producer and consumer costs, and restrictions on employment. The general assembly further finds that agency rules can negatively impact the state's business climate by impeding the ability of local businesses to compete with out-of-state businesses, by discouraging new or existing businesses from moving to this state, and by hindering economic competitiveness and job creation. Accordingly, it is the continuing responsibility of agencies to analyze the economic impact of agency actions and reevaluate the economic impact of continuing agency actions to determine whether the actions promote the public interest.
