CO SB040

Staffing agencies must request a CAPS (Colorado Adult Protective Services) check for employees being placed with at-risk adult care employers effective January 1, 2024.

Staffing agencies must provide CAPS check results and any subsequent substantiated mistreatment findings to employers within five business days of receipt and must continue providing notifications for the duration of the employee's placement.

Employers hiring through staffing agencies are exempt from independently requesting a CAPS check if the staffing agency has already completed and provided the results to the employer.

"Staffing agency" is defined as any individual or organization engaged in providing and assigning workers to placements with specified at-risk adult care employers, including supplemental health-care staffing agencies.

Clarifies confidentiality rules allowing staffing agencies to share CAPS check information with employers as required by the bill, while maintaining restrictions on disclosure to other parties.
