§ 24-34-300.7 — Legislative declaration

Colorado § 24-34-300.7

• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 24: Government
• Art.: Department of Regulatory Agencies

Text

(1) The general assembly finds and
declares that each Coloradan has the right to access fair employment, housing
opportunities, public accommodations, and advertising that is free from
discrimination regardless of their membership in a protected class, as those classes
are listed in sections 24-34-402, 24-34-502, 24-34-601, and 24-34-701. CADA
prohibits discrimination based on these protected classes and ensures that every
Coloradan is able to enjoy freedom from discrimination.

(2) The general assembly further finds and declares that Colorado has a long
history of supporting freedom of choice for Coloradans. This includes the choice to
make decisions related to safely seeking health-care services, including legally
protected health-care activities, as defined in section 12-30-121 (1)(d), that support
mental, physical, and emotional well-being for Coloradans, their children, and their
family members. It is the public policy of Colorado to ensure these important
decisions can be made without unnecessary governmental interference.
