Our Legislature is Back in Session

By Lonnie Glessner | June 4, 2020

The Colorado Legislature is back in session and here are some proposed bills that I read about in the Denver Business Journal-

One bill makes a law change that would presume that any employee who contracts coronavirus did so while at work and is now eligible for workers-comp benefits. Holy Cow! This is a great way to shut down our economy and keep businesses closed.
Another bill would ban evictions for 6 months. OUCH! I am sure the legislators writing this bill will personally make the mortgage payments for the landlords who own these properties. Right???
"Sen. Jack Tate of Centennial has proposed a bill that would confer immunity from lawsuits upon businesses, nonprofits, educational institutions, religious institutions and government entities that make good-faith attempts to comply with all applicable guidelines on safe operations during the coronavirus pandemic." This bill is being asked for by many business groups and is sorely needed.
A bill that would have extended the timeline for construction defects lawsuits was killed in the Senate. Yeah!
