HB 18-1230

HB 18-1230, also known as the "Creation Of Work Status For Immigrants" bill, establishes a new program called the purple card in Colorado. This program allows immigrants who entered the United States without legal documentation to apply for a purple card that lets them work legally within the state. The bill ensures that personal information provided by applicants remains confidential and allocates funding to implement this program. Since it has been signed into law, this means that the purple card program is now active and available for eligible immigrants in Colorado.
