HB 22-1144

House Bill 22-1144, which has been signed into law in Colorado, allows employers and state agencies that require COVID-19 vaccines or regular testing to accept proof of natural immunity from the virus as an alternative. This means employees who have recovered from a previous COVID-19 infection can provide documentation showing they are immune instead of getting vaccinated or tested regularly. The bill affects both private employers and government agencies in Colorado, giving individuals more options for meeting workplace health requirements related to COVID-19.
