Older Adult Support & Representation in Workforce

Added a '3rd Reading Unamended' status stamp dated May 4, 2026, for the Senate.

Added four new Senate sponsors: Benavidez, Coleman, Cutter, Exum, Hinrichsen, Jodeh, Kipp, Lindstedt, Marchman, Rodriguez, Snyder, Sullivan, and Wallace.

Removed clauses requiring the State Council or Colorado Commission on the Aging to examine employment access issues, review existing data, and determine if additional data collection is needed for older adults in the workforce.

A specific date of May 1, 2026, was inserted into the bill text, likely establishing a deadline or effective date for the new requirements.

The bill status changed from 'Reengrossed' to 'Revised' to accurately reflect that amendments were adopted during the second reading in the Senate.

The Senate committee assignment was updated to include the 'Technology' committee alongside Business Affairs and Labor.

Eliminated the mandate for the Department and the Department of Human Services to jointly submit an annual report on workforce development and employment access for older adults beginning in 2028.

Added additional co-sponsors to the House bill, including Bacon, Boesenecker, Brown, Camacho, Clifford, Duran, English, Froelich, Joseph, Keltie, Lieder, Lindsay, Mabrey, Marshall, Nguyen, Paschal, Rutinel, Sirota, Story, Titone, and Woodrow.

Updated the legislative summary header to indicate the bill is 'Reengrossed' and includes amendments adopted in the House of Introduction, noting it has passed third reading unamended.

The definition of 'older adult' was changed from 60 years old to 55 years old, broadening the population covered by the bill.

Meeting requirements for the state workforce council and aging commission were updated to specify that staff or appointed members must attend, clarifying who is responsible for participation.

A redundant requirement for the aging commission to meet with the workforce council and perform duties outlined in another section was deleted to avoid duplication.

Minor formatting and page number adjustments were made throughout the document.
