Bill > HB1124

This bill amends Colorado's existing law on discrimination in places of public accommodation. It expands the definition of "place of public accommodation" to include a wider range of businesses and facilities open to the public. The bill also increases the penalty for violating the anti-discrimination provisions, allowing an aggrieved party to bring an action in court and seek compliance with the law. Additionally, the bill clarifies that a nonprofit organization does not directly participate in a political campaign merely by renting out space for a political event at its usual rates. The bill aims to strengthen protections against discrimination based on disability, race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, national origin, or ancestry in places of public accommodation.
