Bill > HB1333

This bill renames the "Office of Legislative Workplace Relations" to the "Legislative Human Resources Division" within the Office of Legislative Legal Services, expanding its scope to provide comprehensive human resource services to the General Assembly, its members, employees, legislative staff agencies, and potentially third parties. The division will continue to handle critical functions like investigating workplace harassment and discrimination complaints, maintaining confidential records of such investigations, and publishing annual statistical reports that protect individual identities. The bill introduces more transparency by mandating that executive summaries of workplace harassment investigations involving General Assembly members can be made public under certain conditions, particularly if the investigation finds a member culpable of sexual harassment. The division will be provided confidential office space to ensure convenient and private access for individuals seeking human resource services. Additionally, the bill updates related sections of Colorado's Open Records Act to reflect the new division's name and maintain appropriate privacy protections for sensitive workplace-related documents. The legislation will take effect after the standard 90-day period following the General Assembly's final adjournment, with a potential referendum process allowing voters to approve the act in November 2026 if challenged.
