CO SB180

Enacts the "Regulatory Reform Act of 2015" to establish special enforcement provisions for businesses with 100 or fewer employees violating new regulatory rules.

Defines "new rule" as any regulatory requirement in existence for less than one year prior to enforcement by a state agency.

Defines "minor violation" as violations of new rules by small businesses involving record-keeping, data retention, or filing issues that do not affect public safety and carry financial penalties, excluding matters related to permits, licenses, federal requirements, consumer credit, civil rights, and public health.

Requires state agencies to issue written warnings and conduct educational outreach for first-time minor violations of new rules by businesses with 100 or fewer employees instead of imposing penalties.

Requires state agencies to develop and make available fact sheets for new rules adopted each fiscal year, with information available in electronic form and notice to small businesses about where to find it online.
