Colorado enacted House Bill 25-1312, which clarified restrictions against discrimination based on a person’s gender expression. It is effective now, prohibiting any employer from discriminating against an employee or applicant based on gender expression and other specific characteristics.
The bill expands the definition of gender expression to include how the individual chooses to be addresses and chosen name as examples. Employers should review policies and train supervisors on the amendment to the law.
