The department or any authorized agent of the department shall deny, suspend, or revoke any license pursuant to the provisions of section 26-13-126, C.R.S., and any rules promulgated in furtherance thereof, if the department or agent thereof receives a notice to deny, suspend, or revoke from the state child support enforcement agency because the licensee or applicant is out of compliance with a court or administrative order for current child support, child support debt, retroactive child support, child support arrearages, or child support when combined with maintenance or because the licensee or applicant has failed to comply with a properly issued subpoena or warrant relating to a paternity or child support proceeding. Any such denial, suspension, or revocation shall be in accordance with the procedures specified by rule of the department, rules promulgated by the state board of human services, and any memorandum of understanding entered into between the department or an authorized agent thereof and the state child support enforcement agency for the implementation of this section and section 26-13-126, C.R.S.

The appropriate rule-making body of the department is authorized to promulgate rules to implement the provisions of this section.       For purposes of this section, “license” means any recognition, authority, or permission that the department or any authorized agent of the department is authorized by law to issue for an individual to practice a profession or occupation or for an individual to participate in any recreational activity. “License” may include, but is not necessarily limited to, any license, certificate, certification, letter of authorization, or registration issued for an individual to practice a profession or occupation or for an individual to participate in any recreational activity.

 Except as specifically provided in this article, nothing in this article shall be construed so as to interfere with or impede or diminish in any way the right to strike or the right of individuals to work, nor shall anything in this article be so construed as unlawfully to invade the right to freedom of speech. Nothing in this article shall be so construed or applied as to deprive any employee of any unemployment benefit which he might otherwise be entitled to receive under any other laws of the state of Colorado. The fact that any provisions of this article have been adopted from other states, or the language of the statutes of other states has been used in the preparation of this article shall not be taken to adopt as the construction of such provisions the decisions of other states construing such statutes of other states. It is not the intention of the legislature in adopting this article necessarily to adopt the construction that may have been placed upon similar provisions by the courts of other states.   History.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 8 - Labor and Industry|Article 3.7 - Colorado Office of New Americans|§ 8-3.7-101. Legislative Declaration - Intent

  The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:   Colorado is home to more than half a million immigrants, including refugees, who make up ten percent of the state's population and play a vital role in our state's cultural fabric and shared prosperity;    Over six hundred thousand individuals, who make up eleven percent of Colorado's population, are native-born Americans with at least one immigrant parent;    Immigrants and refugees are an integral part of Colorado's diverse economy and are a vital part of the state's tax base;    Immigrant-led households in the state paid one and one half billion dollars in state and local taxes and had a combined spending power, after-tax income, of just over fourteen billion dollars in 2018;    More than thirty-five thousand immigrant and refugee entrepreneurs employ over one hundred thousand individuals;    Immigrants and refugees make up a little over thirteen percent of Colorado's science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) workforce, twenty-one percent of the construction workforce, seventeen percent of the manufacturing workforce, and nineteen percent of the administrative and support, waste management, and remediation services workforces; and    Between 2017 and 2019, naturalization rates increased by seventy-seven percent in Colorado and an additional one hundred thirteen thousand eight hundred seventy-three Coloradans are eligible to naturalize.       The general assembly further finds and declares that:   Supporting the integration and inclusion of immigrants and refugees in our communities helps the whole state thrive;    Creating and establishing an office of new Americans will help to organize a structure for state agencies and immigrant communities to partner in order to enhance integration across the state and will provide immigrant communities the means to address any concerns and obstacles they encounter when accessing services; and    The office of new Americans is intended to serve as a centralized location where state programs, initiatives, and policies focused on facilitating economic stability and promoting successful integration for immigrants are housed.       It is the general assembly's intent that the office of new Americans:   Will grow over time so that in the future it could provide grants to local immigrant-focused, community-based organizations, depending on available funds; and    Be funded through gifts, grants, and donations through the 2022-23 state fiscal year and that in the second regular session of the seventy-fourth general assembly an appropriation be included in the annual general appropriation act for the office's state funding and associated FTE, subject to available appropriations; but nothing precludes the general assembly from making an appropriation to the office of new Americans prior to the second regular session of the seventy-fourth general assembly.
