claim is filed within six months after the date on which the aggrieved party knew or
reasonably should have known of the alleged violation.

(2) The division shall enforce the rights and obligations of this article 33 and
promulgate rules as may be necessary to implement this article 33. The division
must consider the unique circumstances of rural counties as defined in section 29-33-103 (1)(b) in assigning remedies during the rulemaking process. The division shall
create and administer a process to accept, review, and investigate complaints or

(b) At its discretion, provide alternative dispute resolution consistent with
sections 8-3-112 and 8-3-113.

(3) The division has the authority to adjudicate unfair labor practice charges
and issue decisions pursuant to article 3 of title 8.

(4) A party may appeal the division's final decision to the Colorado court of
appeals and the court's review must be limited to determining whether the division
has exceeded its jurisdiction or abused its discretion based on the evidence in the
record before the division.

(5) The court of appeals shall uphold the action of the division and take
appropriate steps to enforce the action unless the court concludes that the final
decision is:

(a) Arbitrary, capricious, or an abuse of discretion; or

(b) Otherwise not in accordance with law.

(6) The division may enforce provisions of this article 33 through the
imposition of appropriate administrative remedies, including remedies to address
any loss suffered by a public employee or group of public employees from unlawful
conduct.

(7) Any funds appropriated to cover the division's costs relating to the
enforcement of this article 33 must be from the general fund.

(8) No public employer has the authority to waive any provisions of this
article, and any law, rule, or policy that authorizes a waiver is null and void.
