HB 1269 KILLED ON THE FLOOR OF THE COLORADO HOUSE We are thrilled to report that HB 1269, referred to as the "Workplace Fairness and Civil Rights and Remedies Act of 2010" by Rep. Claire Levy (D-Boulder) and Sen. Morgan Carroll (D-Aurora) was defeated on the floor of the Colorado House of Representatives last week. This bill would have allowed a plaintiff in an employment discrimination case brought under state law to receive compensatory and punitive damages in addition to the current remedies already available in current law, including front pay, back pay, interest on back pay, reinstatement or hiring, and any other equitable relief. The bill would have also applied to employers with less than 15 employees. Under federal law, any claims brought under Title 7 for allegations of employment discrimination are not applicable to employers with less than 15 employees and this bill was attempting to change that to make these claims applicable to all Colorado businesses, no matter how small or large. After rigorous debate on the floor of the House today, the bill died on a division vote during 2nd reading 32-31-2. We expected Rep. Levy to run an amendment to the report of the committee of the whole, a procedural move that would have revived the bill. After realizing she did not have the support to win that amendment, she decided not to run it. This means that the bill is officially dead and cannot be revived by any future legislative action this Session. We are grateful to all of the Republican members of the House, 5 key Democrats and 1 Independent, without whom we could not have killed this bill. These legislators that stood strong with us are: Rep. Joe Rice (D-Littleton) If you have any questions on this legislation, please do not hesitate to contact us. * * * * * * * * Questions or Comments? Please contact:
