HB 22-1130

House Bill 22-1130 in Colorado brings back an exception for small businesses with fewer than 16 employees from a previous law. This means these smaller employers don't have to provide sick leave to their workers, which was required by a different bill that went into effect on January 1, 2022. The bill has been signed into law, so it is now in effect and affects those small businesses immediately.

Official Summary

In 2020, the general assembly enacted, and the governor subsequently signed into law, Senate Bill 20-205 (SB20-205), which required that employers offer sick leave to their employees. SB20-205 included an exception for employers with fewer than 16 employees, but the exception repealed January 1, 2022. The bill recreates this exception to apply in perpetuity.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
