§ 8-43-306 — Collection of fines, penalties, and overpayments

(1) A certified
copy of any final order of the director or an administrative law judge ordering the
payment of any penalty or repayment of overpayments pursuant to articles 40 to
47 of this title may be filed with the clerk of the district court of any county in this
state at any time after the period of time provided by articles 40 to 47 of this title
for appeal or seeking review of the order has passed without appeal or review being
sought or, if appeal or review is sought, after the order has been finally affirmed
and all appellate remedies and all opportunities for review have been exhausted.
The party filing the order shall at the same time file a certificate to the effect that
the time for appeal or review has passed without appeal or review being undertaken
or that the order has been finally affirmed with all appellate remedies and all
opportunities for review having been exhausted. The clerk of the district court shall
record the order and the filing party's certificate in the judgment book of said court
and entry thereof made in the judgment docket, and it shall thenceforth have all the
effect of a judgment of the district court, and execution may issue thereon out of
said court as in other cases. Any such order may be filed by and in the name of the
director or by and in the name of the party in the worker's compensation action who
was injured by the violation of any provision of articles 40 to 47 of this title or who
was found to be entitled to repayment of overpayments under said articles.

(2) All penalties, when collected, are payable to the division and transmitted
through the state treasurer for credit to the Colorado uninsured employer fund
created in section 8-67-105.
