Colorado HB1383 Repeals Employment Support and Job Retention Program
Summary
Colorado House Bill 1383 repeals the Employment Support and Job Retention Services Program, eliminating state-funded employment assistance for workers and reducing the associated budget appropriation. The bill passed the House on April 9, 2026, with unanimous committee support (11-0). This action affects job seekers and employers who previously accessed job training, retention services, and employment support through the now-terminated program.
What changed
Colorado HB1383 eliminates the Employment Support and Job Retention Services Program, a state-funded initiative that provided employment assistance, job training, and worker retention services. The bill specifically reduces the state appropriation previously allocated to sustain this program, reflecting direct budget savings from program termination.
Affected parties include state employment agencies that administered the program, employers who participated in job retention initiatives, and job seekers receiving employment support services. These entities must transition away from the now-defunct program, potentially seeking alternative funding sources or adjusting service delivery models. The program's repeal may also affect contracted service providers who delivered employment support under state grants.
What to do next
- Discontinue any active job retention program services previously funded under the repealed program
- Update state agency budgets and appropriations to reflect eliminated program funding
- Notify employers and job seekers enrolled in the program of service termination
