HB 26-1207

House Bill 26-1207 requires large private companies doing business in Colorado that employ at least 100 workers to report demographic workforce data, similar to the federal EEO-1 form, to the state's Secretary of State. This means these employers must provide information about their employees' race, gender, and other demographics, even if the federal government stops requiring it. The bill has been signed into law, so companies affected by this will now need to comply with these reporting requirements in Colorado.

Official Summary

The act requires, beginning July 1, 2027, a private entity conducting business in the state that employs 100 or more workers (employer) to include demographic workforce data collected through the United States equal employment opportunity commission's 'Employer Information Report' (EEO-1 data) in periodic reports to the secretary of state. An employer is required to provide the EEO-1 data to the secretary of state even if the federal government repeals or discontinues the federal requirement to submit the EEO-1 data to the United States equal employment opportunity commission.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
