HB 22-1262

House Bill 22-1262 extends the authority of Colorado's Division of Workers' Compensation director to impose fines on employers who fail to provide workers' compensation insurance for their employees, even if this failure happens multiple times within a seven-year period. This extension lasts for eleven years until September 1, 2033. The bill has been signed into law, meaning the director now has this enforcement power to ensure that employers comply with workers' compensation requirements and protect workers who get injured on the job.
