CO HB1347

Amends Colorado law to clarify that information obtained by the Division of Labor relating to a finding of wage law violation is not confidential and shall be released to the public or used in court proceedings.

Allows employers to designate submitted information as proprietary, a trade secret, or privileged under Section 24-72-204, C.R.S., but the director is not bound by the employer's designation.

Requires the director to notify employers before releasing wage violation information and gives employers twenty days to provide documentation that specific information constitutes a trade secret.

Defines "trade secret" for purposes of this section using the same meaning as set forth in Section 7-74-102(4), C.R.S.

Applies to notices of citation or assessment issued for wage law violations, including violations of Section 8-4-111(2)(c), after all remedies have been exhausted.
