The Colorado General Assembly recently passed legislation requiring specific employers to conduct a CAPS Check. CAPS Check, or Colorado Adult Protective Services Data System, is utilized to reveal if an applicant has history of abuse, neglect, or exploitation. This is a required check for anyone working with an at-risk adult. The required implementation date for the CAPS Check was January 1, 2019.
A list of employers who are required to request a CAPS check prior to hiring an employee can be found here.
