Home-Care Bill SB19-238 Passed But Amended To Remove Registry, Increased Training and 77% Pay Threshold
The home care community showed a lot of support in trying to defeat this bill. The bill passed with significant amendments! Amendments include the following:
- No registry for caregivers.
- No training language or requirements.
- Eliminated the requirement for 77% of all Medicaid reimbursement to go towards caregiver compensation.
The main compromise was to allocate 100% of the 8.1% rate increase to employee compensation. However, compensation in this bill was defined broadly to allow for wages, bonus's, commissions, payroll tax, unemployment tax and health insurance or other benefits that can legitimately be considered compensation. The significant omission was workers compensation expense.

Collapse of Colorado's Proposed Paid-family-leave Program
SB 188 would have created a state-run insurance system into which employers and employees would pay to create a roughly $1 billion pool of funds, which any private-sector worker in the state could dip into to take as much as 12 weeks of leave to care for a new baby, a family member or themselves and receive pay that could reach as high as 90% of their typical checks for the lowest-income workers. This week, Gov. Jared Polis reiterated that he had "concerns" with the bill, which sources say played a major role in pulling the original version from debate on the State Senate floor. Sponsors of the legislation, Sens. Faith Winter and Angela Williams, sent a press release out late Wednesday saying the idea will be brought back next year. Under a new version of the bill, introduced Wednesday night, the state will study the financial impacts of paid family leave throughout the rest of 2019. Winter and Williams promised to return in 2020 to pass the bill - keeping the original timeline of 2024 for implementation.
Most of the major business organizations in the state had come out against the bill. Read the
article.
