Colorado Code
Article 14.5 - Cost Containment
§ 8-14.5-102. Legislative Declaration

The general assembly hereby finds and declares that any adjustments to premiums for workers' compensation insurance be granted on the basis of equity, rate adequacy, fairness, and insurer compliance with Colorado insurance rating laws. The general assembly further finds and declares that notwithstanding the granting of different rates to insureds for their experience modification, participation in return-to-work programs, and premium volume discounts not exceeding fifteen percent, any other premium adjustments should be principally weighted in a manner primarily encouraging the adoption and successful implementation by insureds of effective workplace safety programs mainly encompassing risk management and medical cost containment procedures.
