Laws

Colorado is without a Law but with Relevant/Related Laws, Bills, or Advocacy Activities.

Colorado has a law requiring the health commissioner to analyze standardized health plan rules related to “health plan enrollment, health insurance affordability, and health equity. To the extent available, the analysis must include disaggregated data by race, ethnicity, immigration status, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, and ability. If the data is not available, the analysis must note such unavailability.” CO ST § 10-16-1304. 

Colorado has at least two laws (CO ST § 24-49.5-105 and CO ST § 24-103-1103) addressing historic discrimination of minority communities, which define the race and ethnic groups. For example: 

• Hispanic American, including but not limited to all persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or other Spanish or Portuguese culture or origin, regardless of race;
• Asian American, including but not limited to persons whose origins are from Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, the Philippines, Samoa, the United States territories of the Pacific, or the Northern Mariana Islands; and subcontinent Asian American, including but not limited to persons whose origins are from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, or Nepal; and
• Native American, including but not limited to persons who are American Indians, Eskimos, Aleuts, or Hawaiians of Polynesian descent.
