Colorado Revised Statute § 8-4-126 defines a “Delivery Network Company” or “DNC” as “any person that sells the delivery of goods or services, including delivery provided as part of the sale of goods, in the state of Colorado and that engages or dispatches delivery drivers through a digital platform.
Reporting & Transparency Requirements
In 2024, House Bill 24-1129 was passed, adding Colorado Revised Statute § 8-4-126 to the law. This statute establishes certain driver protections and transparency standards for Delivery Network Companies (DNCs) operating in Colorado. Under this statute, DNCs must provide various disclosures to the Division of Labor Standards, drivers, and consumers.
Deactivation Policy
DNCs providing services in Colorado are required to develop and maintain an “account deactivation policy” applicable to their drivers. This policy must be in writing and define what constitutes a violation that may result in an account deactivation. The policy must be available and provided to drivers in English, Spanish, Arabic, Amharic, Swahili/Kiswahili, Nepali/Nepalese.
