The Division of Professions and Occupations regulates more than 450,000 licensees, certificate holders and registrants. Each year, the General Assembly passes legislation directly impacting those populations. Many bills then require rulemaking or other policy updates by the Division or Boards in order to implement these changes. All relevant bills from the most recent legislative session have been combined onto a single webpage for easy access here. We encourage all licensees to read all bills directly impacting their profession(s). You may access the individual bills and summaries by visiting the link below:

On June 4, 2024, Governor Polis signed HB24-1004 Ex-Offenders Practice in Regulated Occupations into law. Under this bill, if an applicant for a registration, certification, or license has a conviction for a crime, a regulator may only consider the applicant’s conviction for a three-year period beginning on the date of conviction or the end of incarceration, if the applicant has not been convicted of any other criminal offense during the three-year period. To learn more about this law and about how it may effect your application, please visit the Ex-Offenders Practice in Regulated Occupations information webpage.

The Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) is a statewide program administered by the Department of Personnel and Administration (DPA) that provides survivors of domestic violence, sexual offenses, and/or stalking with a legal substitute address for interacting with all state and local government agencies.
