CO Code § 8-12-102 (2021)
2021 Colorado Code|Title 8 - Labor and Industry|Article 12 - Colorado Youth Employment Opportunity Act|§ 8-12-102. Legislative Declaration

  It is the policy of this state to foster the economic, social, and educational development of young people through employment. Work is an integral factor in providing a sense of purpose, direction, and self-esteem necessary to the overall physical and mental health of an individual. In the first part of this century, state and federal laws and regulations were needed to prevent the exploitation of child labor. Unfortunately, such legislation also has tended, on occasion, to limit and curtail opportunities for minors to participate in reasonable work experiences. Young people, especially those who have completed high school or occupational training and no longer are in school, should not be denied employment opportunities because of arbitrary minimum age limits. Work, however, should be coordinated with schooling wherever appropriate. Work and study combined must be developed in the interest of the youth to be trained.    Repealed.     History.

CO Code § 8-12-113 (2021)
2021 Colorado Code|Title 8 - Labor and Industry|Article 12 - Colorado Youth Employment Opportunity Act|§ 8-12-113. School Release Permit

  Any minor fourteen or fifteen years of age who wishes to work on school days during school hours shall first secure a school release permit. The permit shall be issued only by the school district superintendent, his agent, or some other person designated by the board of education. The school release permit shall be issued only for a specific position with a designated employer. The permit shall be for a specific length of time not to exceed thirty days. The permit shall be canceled upon the termination of such employment and shall be issued only in the following circumstances:   If the minor is to be employed in an occupation not prohibited by section 8-12-110 and as evidence thereof presents a signed statement from his prospective employer; and    If the parent or guardian of the minor consents to the employment; and    If the issuing officer believes the best interests of the minor will be served by permitting him to work.       The school release permit shall show the name, address, and description of the minor, the name and address of the employer, the kind of work to be performed, and the hours of exemption and shall also require the signature of the parent and the minor in the presence of the issuing officer.    Inasmuch as it is desirable and practical to encourage school attendance by minors at least part time, no school release permit shall be issued under this section unless limited to require class attendance by the minor for at least three class hours each regular school day; except that, in cases of extreme hardship, class attendance may be waived if the issuing officer determines that such action would be in the best interest of the minor.    If the issuing officer is in doubt about whether the proposed employment is in accordance with this article, he shall consult with the division before issuing the permit.    Upon termination for any reason of the employment authorized, the employer shall return the school release permit directly to the issuing officer with a notation showing the date of termination.    The issuing officer is authorized to cancel a school release permit if the issuing officer determines that the action would be in the best interest of the minor. If a school release permit is canceled, for reasons other than the termination of employment for which the permit was granted, the minor shall be entitled to a review of the cancellation by the court having jurisdiction of juvenile matters in the county in which the minor resides, in accordance with the procedures established by section 8-12-114.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 8 - Labor and Industry|Article 12 - Colorado Youth Employment Opportunity Act|§ 8-12-114. Appeal From Denial or Cancellation of School Release Permit - Procedure

  If a minor is refused a school release permit or has had a school release permit canceled for reasons other than the termination of employment for which the permit was granted, he shall be entitled to review by the court having jurisdiction of juvenile matters in the county in which the minor resides, in accordance with the procedures described in this section.    The official who refused to issue or canceled the school release permit shall, upon demand made within five days after the refusal or cancellation, promptly furnish the minor and his parent or guardian with a written statement of the reasons for such refusal or cancellation.    Within five days after the receipt of such statement, the minor and his parent or guardian may petition the court for an order directing the issuance or reissuance of a school release permit. The petition shall state the reasons why the court should issue such an order, and the petitioner shall attach to such petition the statement of the issuing officer obtained as provided in subsection (2) of this section.    The court shall hold a hearing and receive such further testimony and evidence as it deems necessary. If the court finds that the issuance or reissuance of a permit is in the best interest of the minor, it shall grant the petition.    No fee shall be charged by the court in such proceedings.
