C.R.S. § 24-34-300.7: Legislative declaration.

(1) The general assembly finds and declares that each Coloradan has the right to access fair employment, housing opportunities, public accommodations, and advertising that is free from discrimination regardless of their membership in a protected class, as those classes are listed in sections 24-34-402, 24-34-502, 24-34-601, and 24-34-701. CADA prohibits discrimination based on these protected classes and ensures that every Coloradan is able to enjoy freedom from discrimination.

(2) The general assembly further finds and declares that Colorado has a long history of supporting freedom of choice for Coloradans. This includes the choice to make decisions related to safely seeking health-care services, including legally protected health-care activities, as defined in section 12-30-121 (1)(d), that support mental, physical, and emotional well-being for Coloradans, their children, and their family members. It is the public policy of Colorado to ensure these important decisions can be made without unnecessary governmental interference.
