FAMLI: Family and Medical Leave Insurance

As political subdivisions (aka local governments) of the State of Colorado, Conservation Districts need to investigate the requirements and options of FAMLI thoroughly to make an informed decision.

FAMLI affects Colorado local government employers differently than private businesses. The statute was written to give local governments options to participate. Local Governments can vote to opt out of FAMLI anytime during 2022. Local governments must conduct their vote and notify the FAMLI Division by January 1, 2023, to avoid being responsible for premiums in 2023. No vote is required if the local government plans to participate in the program. All local governments must register with the Division in My FAMLI+ Employer even if they have voted to opt-out.
