Status: in_force

24-51-1726.5. Contributions for a retiree who returns to membership - benefit calculation upon subsequent retirement - survivor benefit rights. (1) Except as otherwise provided in section 24-51-1747, a DPS retiree who returns to work in a position that is subject to membership may voluntarily suspend his or her retirement allowance and resume membership. Upon such suspension, employer and member contributions are required to be made pursuant to the provisions of part 4 of this article.

(2) A DPS retiree who, on or after January 1, 2011, suspends his or her retirement allowance shall not add any service credit to the benefit segment from which the retiree suspends his or her retirement. Subject to the election set forth below, any additional service credit accumulated will be reflected in separate benefit segments upon subsequent termination of membership, but only after one year of service credit has been earned during a period of suspension. The retirement allowance for each qualifying separate benefit segment will be calculated pursuant to the benefit structure under which the retiree originally retired. The benefit for each separate benefit segment resulting from suspension shall be determined using the DPS member's salary and service credit acquired during the period of suspension. The DPS member's age and total service credit with the association upon retirement after each suspension shall govern whether the DPS member shall receive a retirement allowance pursuant to section 24-51-1713 or 24-51-1714 for that segment. Previous separate benefit segments shall be subject to recalculation only to reflect a change in the selected option or a designated coannuitant, if applicable, and no benefit increases pursuant to section 24-51-1001 will be applicable to any separate benefit segment during any period of suspension. Upon reinstatement of the retirement benefit allowance payments, no increase shall be made until such resumed payments have been paid continuously for the twelve months prior to July 1. Upon resumption of retirement after suspension, the association shall refund all moneys credited to the member contribution account during the period of suspension pursuant to section 24-51-405 unless, within a time set by the association, the retiree makes written election to establish a separate benefit segment calculated as set forth above. The refund shall be an amount equal to all moneys credited to the member contribution account during the period of suspension and payment of matching employer contributions pursuant to section 24-51-1711 or 24-51-1729 (6)(a)(I), whichever is applicable. No refund can issue for any benefit segment from which a benefit has been drawn. Such refund shall be required for any separate benefit segment during which less than one year of service credit has been earned.

(3) (a) A DPS member whose retirement allowances are in separate benefit segments pursuant to this section must elect the same option and designate the same coannuitant for all of his or her separate benefit segments.

(b) A DPS retiree who suspends his or her retirement and elects a separate benefit segment pursuant to this section may change his or her original option and coannuitant election only if the original option selected was option A, P2, or P3. DPS retirees who selected option B, C, D, or E shall not be allowed to change that election.

(4) Survivor benefit rights provided for in this part 17 shall be available to a DPS retiree who voluntarily suspends the benefits and returns to membership as if such retiree had not retired.

Status: in_force

24-34-806. Testing accommodations for Coloradans with disabilities - right of action - legislative declaration - definitions. (1) (a) The general assembly finds that:

(I) Licensing exams are gateways to employment opportunities;

(II) When an individual is attempting to obtain a professional license or certification for a trade, it is difficult to achieve such goals without sitting for some kind of licensing exam;

(III) While many testing entities have made efforts to ensure equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities, disabled Coloradans continue to question and make complaints about testing entities' excessive and burdensome documentation demands, failures to provide necessary testing accommodations, failures to respond to requests for testing accommodations in a timely manner, and failures to recognize the diagnoses or recommendations provided by an individual's medical or psychological provider;

(IV) The federal "Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990", 42 U.S.C. sec. 12101 et seq., as amended, ensures that individuals with disabilities have the opportunity to fairly compete for and pursue career opportunities by requiring standardized examination entities to offer exams in a manner that is accessible to persons with disabilities. When needed testing accommodations are provided, a test-taker can demonstrate the test-taker's true aptitude.

(V) Yet, Coloradans with disabilities are being denied the testing accommodations they need, and previously received, unless they undergo additional and costly diagnostic testing or psychological assessment. These denials result in disabled Coloradans either taking the licensing exam without the necessary testing accommodation or spending thousands of dollars on the requested diagnostic testing or psychological assessment in order to take the exam or test with the same testing accommodation they previously received.

(b) Therefore, the general assembly declares that Coloradans with disabilities must be able to receive the testing accommodations they need to adequately demonstrate their aptitude without having to first undergo additional diagnostic testing or psychological assessments if the testing accommodation they are requesting is the same testing accommodation they received previously or is in line with a medical or psychological provider's professional recommendation or diagnosis.

(2) As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires:

(a) "Licensing exam" means a test that requires, in a given test administration, all test-takers to answer the same questions, in the same way; is scored in a standard or consistent manner; and is required for a professional or trade certification or licensure.

(b) "Testing accommodation" means a change to the regular testing environment or the permitted use of an auxiliary aid or service that allows an individual with a disability to demonstrate the individual's true aptitude or achievement level on a licensing exam test and includes, but is not limited to, the following:

(I) Braille or large-print exam booklets;

(II) Screen-reading technology;

(III) Scribes to transfer answers to bubble sheets or record dictated notes and essays;

(IV) Extended time;

(V) Breaks during an exam that are not counted in the total exam time;

(VI) Wheelchair-accessible testing stations;

(VII) To the extent possible, rooms that eliminate visual and auditory distractions;

(VIII) Physical prompts for individuals with hearing impairments; and

(IX) Permission to bring and take prescribed medication during the exam.

(c) "Testing entity" means a private entity of this state or a state or local governmental entity of this state that offers an exam related to licensing or certification for professional or trade purposes and has control over testing accommodation decisions.

(3) (a) A testing entity must grant an individual's request for a testing accommodation on a licensing exam if the individual:

(I) Has a disability that is recognized under the federal "Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990", 42 U.S.C. sec. 12101 et seq., as amended;

(II) Provides proof of having received the previous testing accommodation due to the individual's disability on a past standardized exam or high-stakes test;

(III) Provides a recommendation letter from the individual's treating medical professional that recommends the accommodations requested by the individual. The recommendation letter must be signed and dated by the treating medical professional making the recommendation; and

(IV) Requests the same testing accommodation that the individual previously received on another standardized exam or high-stakes test.

(b) If the individual meets the requirements specified in subsection (3)(a) of this section, the testing entity must not require the individual to provide additional documentation or undergo diagnostic testing or a psychological assessment to further support the individual's request for a testing accommodation.

(4) An individual adversely affected or aggrieved by a testing entity's decision regarding the individual's request for a testing accommodation pursuant to this section may bring a civil action against the testing entity in a court of competent jurisdiction for a willful violation of this section and is entitled to the following remedies:

(a) The relief set forth in section 24-34-802 (2); and

(b) An award of attorney fees and costs.

(5) Upon receipt of a complaint for a violation of this section, the attorney general may investigate the violation. If the attorney general finds that a testing entity has violated or is violating this section, the attorney general may bring a civil action against the testing entity in a court of competent jurisdiction for a willful violation of this section.

(6) This section does not require a testing entity to provide accommodations to an individual with a disability if the accommodation would constitute a fundamental alteration or undue burden as defined in the federal "Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990", 42 U.S.C. sec. 12101 et seq., as amended.
