HHAC has not taken a stance in support or opposition of the BCBJ yet. Though it is pro-homecare in nature, it also has provisions which are pro-organization/unionization in nature and could be of concern to some employers and employees in Colorado. We encourage HHAC members to review the language and to let us know your thoughts by emailing [email protected]
