A bill to scrutinize the operations of a quasi-governmental agency that sells worker’s compensation insurance is headed to the governor.
Senate Bill 281 would require a state audit of Pinnacol Assurance. Lawmakers this year pondered taking $500 million from the assets of Pinnacol, which threatened legal action if that were to occur.
Lawmakers ultimately agreed to not pass legislation this year putting Pinnacol clearly back under state control.
The bill also would set up an interim committee to study the insurer.
