Representative Bacon, speaking to the committee report, said the bill grew from an extensive multi-stakeholder process with law enforcement agencies, chiefs, sheriffs and district attorneys. The bill's sponsor on the floor, Representative Clifford, said the measure \"gives [POST] the ability to access records and make a determination\" in cases where an officer believes they were incorrectly placed on the database, adding that the bill creates a route for officers to seek correction.

Opponents and skeptical members voiced concern that the process for being placed on the database remained easier than the process for removal. Representative Armagast said the law previously produced a \"guilty-until-proven-innocent\" effect and that while the bill offers some cushioning, it did not entirely reverse the earlier expansion of reporting that had raised concerns.

Supporters noted several specific changes: POST will be able to review records (as a fact-finding step rather than a custodian role), agencies must notify an officer if they are reported to the database, and there will be clarified reporting requirements to close a perceived loophole where agencies negotiated to avoid reporting. Sponsors said the bill does not expand the list of disqualifying conduct but provides additional due-process and review options.

Formal action: The Judiciary Committee report on House Bill 11-36 was adopted on the floor, and the House subsequently passed the bill. The clerk announced, \"The ayes have it. House Bill 11-36 is passed.\" The transcript records no roll-call tally in the excerpt provided.

What to watch: Implementation will require record-access processes and potential POST rulemaking and coordination with employing agencies. Law enforcement organizations and affected officers have signaled continued interest in how the POST board applies the law and how easily officers can use the new review processes to remove inappropriate entries.

Ending: House Bill 11-36 passed after floor consideration with supporters emphasizing due-process improvements and some members urging additional changes to prevent disproportionate career harm from database entries.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Colorado House 2025 Legislative Day 084 Tuesday, Apr 1, 2025 9:06 AM - 2:16 PM","oneSentenceSummary","The Colorado House on April 1 passed House Bill 11-36, a measure clarifying procedures for the state peace officer database and adding review authority for the POST board.","taxTitle","2025 Legislature CO, Colorado","taxId",77676,"location","Colorado","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6095548,"House advances wage-theft enforcement bill after hours of debate; key amendments considered",1751,2036000,3787000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2837857-2345df17574f0c5a11770997f8218b67&start=2036&end=3787","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2837857-2345df17574f0c5a11770997f8218b67/thumbnail_2036000.jpg","/articles/6095548/Colorado/House-advances-wage-theft-enforcement-bill-after-hours-of-debate-key-amendments-considered","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6095548-4a425d9f906f7e7be60798747c1b8056/orig.mp4?Expires=1775768947&Signature=Ke5J-XKQdv-BNcrUB8k4bGlQUpJO1AvzdU1Fkxd0KE~NH~EO9nHlDQ4djkCJZdjX0M~-ts8SGcO18ySKQvJqu6KFSr4PzPhb0BbdA-0oItaHhcYV1OiQcEIcR0nUcDWGWjr~T54Q4GFnHbYZZFRMOROfTkNngOOD8ZMc6QOMambFN6unmIjBfc9rY3qrQspLBkQn2iqqWvB9FqQfChl~19OkfJKa-Qr-ZR5Yuf1VoC19DXafn0wcCjnjciJ1tWMz~68Mi9dTWHj1dh~dpKVi4-sw1GCRvQpiuZl3Se5liVk~fgVPyaS8GqDPHJt4uUEvaJ7NBP6owrefHh~Y7CY7QQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Colorado House of Representatives passed House Bill 1,001 on April 1 after several hours of floor debate over enforcement mechanisms, public accountability and the bill's scope.

Representative Froelich told the chamber the bill reflects long negotiations with stakeholders and said, \"we have had many, many conversations about this and feel like we've landed in a place where we've threaded the needle between deterring investment and holding folks accountable.\" The sponsor defended changes meant to improve workers' access to remedies while targeting bad actors.

Representative Brad Richardson offered multiple amendments aiming to narrow or clarify provisions. Richardson said removing online publication of individuals found in violation would protect small employers from long-term reputational harm after inadvertent errors, arguing that \"most of the folks that have violations ... they're inadvertent, they're easily correctable.\" The House considered, and members voted on, several floor amendments: one (L15) to remove an online publication requirement failed on the floor; another amendment (L17), which clarified the 90-day presumption of retaliation and limited fee-shifting for frivolous claims, was adopted.

Opponents on the floor repeatedly warned the bill would widen employer liability and increase costs for businesses. Representative Brooks said the legislation would hurt business interests and noted widespread opposition from business organizations. Several members questioned the bill's fiscal impact on the state budget; one member said the annual cost indicated on the fiscal note was substantial in the current state budget climate.

Supporters responded that remedying wage theft keeps money in local communities and protects vulnerable workers. Majority Leader Duran said the bill improves access to justice for workers and targets bad actors while including negotiated protections.

Formal actions and amendment outcomes recorded on the floor

- Adoption of the Finance Committee Report to House Bill 1,001: The committee report was adopted on the floor (voice votes and subsequent recorded proceedings noted in the clerk's entries).

- Amendment L15 (remove online publication of violators): Defeated (\"the noes have it; L15 is lost\").

- Amendment L17 (clarify 90-day anti-retaliation presumption; limit fee exposure to frivolous claims): Adopted (floor announced L17 is passed).

- Final passage of House Bill 1,001: The motion to pass the bill on third reading was made and the chair announced \"the ayes have it\" and that House Bill 1,001 passes.

What this means: The enacted provisions will change how wage-and-hour violations are enforced and the available remedies, including presumptions on retaliation for a limited period and mechanisms for municipal enforcement. The bill's fiscal impacts and implementation details will be determined as agencies and stakeholders review the final enrolled bill.

Ending: House Bill 1,001 cleared the House after negotiated amendments; sponsors and opponents signaled continuing interest in monitoring implementation and potential administrative or budgetary effects.","After extended floor debate, the Colorado House passed House Bill 1,001, a bill expanding enforcement and remedies for wage- and hour-related claims.
