Chamber Passed·3/16/26

Colorado SB087 authorizes legislative leave and job protection for general assembly members with outside employment.

Colorado SB087 establishes legislative leave and job protection for qualified members of the general assembly who have outside employment. Qualified members can take leave during regular or extraordinary legislative sessions, which may be paid, unpaid, or partially paid at the employer's discretion. Employers cannot terminate employment due to legislative leave, and members must be restored to the same or an equivalent position upon return. The bill aims to ensure legislative service remains accessible to individuals from diverse economic backgrounds.
