      <image:title>Client Resources - 2025 Colorado Legislative Update&amp;nbsp;</image:title>
      <image:caption>The 2025 Colorado legislative session brought several new laws impacting the construction industry and employers statewide. Below is a summary of the most relevant legislation to help you stay compliant and informed. Of particular importance are HB25-1001 concerning wage and hour violations and HB25-1272 regarding multifamily housing construction defects.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Client Resources - ICE Raids in Construction: Know Your Rights</image:title>
      <image:caption>Due to recent changes in federal enforcement priorities by the current administration, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has  increased both the frequency and scope of its immigration enforcement actions, including workplace raids. This increased scrutiny has disproportionately affected the construction industry, where contractors and subcontractors often employ a diverse workforce that can be vulnerable to these enforcement actions. In light of these developments, Galvanize Law Group seeks to inform its clients of their rights during ICE enforcement actions and to recommend best practices to reduce risk to both businesses and their employees.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Client Resources - Facing the Tariff Challenge in 2025</image:title>
      <image:caption>Tariff Pressures and Construction Industry Realities: Navigating Cost, Risk, and Strategic Response in 2025 As trade policies shift rapidly under President Trump’s administration, the construction industry navigates unprecedented economic terrain. With sweeping tariffs on essential materials like steel, aluminum, lumber, and even clean technologies, contractors and developers must reevaluate every aspect of their operations—from procurement to project execution. The Scale and Scope of Tariffs Impacting Construction The March 2025 reinstatement of 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports marked a decisive shift in U.S. trade policy. This followed escalating duties on Canadian softwood lumber, initially set at 14.5% and rising to a confirmed 34.45% in April 2025, surpassing earlier projections. These measures, under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, aim to strengthen domestic industries but simultaneously raise costs for builders across the country.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Client Resources - FinCEN Dramatically Narrows BOI Reporting Rules for U.S. Companies</image:title>
      <image:caption>In a major regulatory shift, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) have dramatically scaled back the scope of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). As of March 26, 2025, all U.S.-formed companies and U.S. persons are exempt from Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting requirements. Only foreign entities that register to do business in the United States now fall within the scope of the rule.  This change was made via an interim final rule (IFR) issued by FinCEN and reflects the Treasury Department’s reassessment of the balance between transparency and regulatory burden, particularly following recent litigation and a shift in administration policy. ring a pause on enforcement actions related to CTA noncompliance.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Client Resources - The FTC Announced its Wide-Sweeping Final Non-Compete Clause Rule on April 23, 2024</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Federal Trade Commission announced its wide-sweeping final Non-Compete Clause Rule on April 23, 2024. The new Rule is scheduled to become effective on September 4, 2024 but was met with immediate legal challenges by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and others. In one of the pending cases, U.S. District Judge Ada Brown in Dallas concluded in a July 2024 opinion that the new Rule is likely unlawful. Although Judge Brown's opinion is currently limited to the parties involved in that case, a final decision is expected in late August that may have broader implications. If the legal challenges are unsuccessful and the new Rule becomes effective, it will ban all new non-compete agreements with any worker regardless of position or compensation. Existing non-compete agreements with senior executives in policy-making positions (e.g., President, CEO, or other officer with policy-making authority) and who earn $151,164 or more per year will remain enforceable, but employers will be required to give written notice to all other workers with non-compete agreements that the agreements are no longer enforceable.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The COVID-19 pandemic and recent economic monetary inflation trends have had a significant impact on the construction industry. Particularly, the supply chain is plagued with increasing materials costs and decreasing availability. Subcontractors now face varying material costs and delivery delays that impact their ability to stay within contracted deadlines and bid or contract prices. Contractors and subcontractors must consider how and to what extent a price escalation clause will be necessary in their contracts.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Nearly 940,000 Colorado workers lack access to qualified retirement savings plans. Beginning January 1, 2023, Colorado employees whose employers do not offer a retirement plan have access to the optional state-facilitated Colorado SecureSavings program. The new law requires all employers in Colorado that meet certain requirements to facilitate employee participation in the SecureSavings program through payroll deductions. Employers that have been in business for two or more years, have five or more employees, and do not already have a retirement savings plan in place will be required to set up payroll deductions, from which employees may opt out. These payroll deductions are contributed to a Roth Individual Retirement Account (Roth IRA) on behalf of the employee through this program.</image:caption>

Check construction registration requirements with the state and local level where you will be working and register if required. Update your contract for that state’s legal requirements: especially important for residential work.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Did you know that in the last year Colorado eliminated its ban on credit card surcharges? Is your business prepared to take advantage of these changes? On July 1, 2022, the ban on adding a surcharge for credit card transactions was eliminated in Colorado. Sellers may now add the processing fees they have to pay for credit card transactions. Sellers can charge up to two percent of the transaction in surcharge fees. A surcharge is considered any additional fee added to the transaction amount, so be sure that if you include more than the credit card transaction fee, that is does not exceed two percent.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Client Resources - Do You Know the Legal Difference Between Residential and Commercial Roofing Contracts?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Did you know Colorado construction law distinguishes residential roofing contracts from commercial roofing contracts? Residential roofing contracts require specific provisions. If your contract for residential roofing work does not include those specific provisions, your contract may be unenforceable.  The Colorado Roofing Statute, C.R.S. § 6-22-103, protects consumers from predatory roofing contractors. The Statute applies to anyone conducting ‘roofing work’ on ‘residential property’. It sets the contract requirements that roofing contractors must follow for residential roofing work, including a list of required contract terms plus a 72-hour escape hatch for consumers if they enter a predatory contract.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Client Resources - Follow these steps to keep your personal assets safe from liability associated with your business</image:title>
      <image:caption>Whether you are just starting out as a construction business owner, or if you have owned your own business for several years, it is important to make sure that you take the steps necessary to legally and contractual separate your personal assets from your business assets. Such separation is crucial to shielding your personal assets from any judgments or claims attributed to your business in the unfortunate event that your business is sued or goes bankrupt. Personal assets include things like your home, vehicles, boats, guns, bank accounts, brokerage accounts, and retirement accounts. Business Assets include clients, employees, business relationships, social media reputation, equipment and your business’s process and procedures. In order to keep your personal assets safe from liability associated with your business, it is important to legally separate the two categories of assets, implement the correct contract provisions, and obtain the proper scope of insurance coverage.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>As a construction professional, it is crucial to your business and your bottom line that you are paid fairly for the work that you do. Late or missing payments can make it difficult to cover your overhead expenses, to pay your employees on time, to keep to a project schedule, and for your business to make profit, among other issues. Staying up to date on both state and local level licensing requirements, registering your entity with the appropriate Secretary of State offices, being aware of the relevant contract disclosure requirements, and implementing strong contract provisions are key to making sure that you receive the payment that you work so hard to earn.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Client Resources - Reducing Risks in Terminations</image:title>
      <image:caption>Running a business is not cheap. Working in the construction industry means dealing with the costs that may be out of your control, like materials, supplies, market demand, supply chain issues, and competitors’ pricing. One of the largest costs for employers is compensation and benefits, which can be within your control with proactive auditing and management. Labor costs can increase drastically if your business retains underutilized or unideal workers, who can negatively impact your business from many angles, including damaging team morale and creating a poor work environment, making costly errors in their work, and increasing insurance premiums.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Client Resources - Builders Should Be Aware of Upcoming Changes to Colorado Building Codes</image:title>
      <image:caption>Did you know, Colorado recently passed House Bill 22-1362, Building Greenhouse Gas Emissions? This bill attempts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions which are estimated to make up 14 percent of the state’s emissions. The Colorado energy office (office), the state agency charged with reducing greenhouse emissions and consumer energy costs, is tasked with creating model codes for municipalities in the state to adopt. Municipalities will have to adopt the model electric and solar ready code by January 1, 2025, and the model low energy and carbon code by January 1, 2030. Municipalities are not required to adopt the model green code but are encouraged to do so. Some municipalities have already adopted green codes that encourage the conservation of water, energy efficiency and address other environmental concerns.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Independent Contractor Rule by Department of Labor Still in Transition - Employers Can Participate in Independent Contractor Discussion June 24th</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Economic Reality Test for independent contractors is still in effect. The Department of Labor’s (DOL) Wage and Hour Division announced on June 3, 2022, that it is reviewing regulations addressing the distinction between an employee and an independent contractor under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Independent contractors are not eligible for the federal minimum wage and overtime pay that covered employees receive under the FLSA. On January 7, 2021, the DOL published a final rule, which adopted an economic reality test which considers whether a worker operates their own business or is economically dependent on an employer for work. This rule is still in effect, but the DOL plans to engage in new rulemaking on this issue and seeks public feedback. You as an employer can give your thoughts on June 24, 2:30-4:30 EST.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Galvanize Law Group Welcomes Attorney Alexis Reller - Galvanize Law Group is pleased to welcome Alexis Reller as an associate attorney to the firm.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Alexis Reller is a seasoned litigator and is excited to join the Galvanize team to leverage her business background to provide full service legal representation to clients. Alexis handles the full gamut of legal issues that business owners encounter, from contracts and financing to safety and human resources issues. Before law school, Alexis earned a B.A. in pre-law and a B.S.B.A. in Business Management, and her Honors Thesis “Plan, Inform, Act: Practical Solutions for Sexual Harassment Policy for Iowa Small Businesses,” was published in the Drake Management Review. Alexis has litigated in state and federal courts as well as administrative appeals of OSHA citations. With extensive litigation experience, Alexis has an eye for proactive risk management to help protect clients from future issues before they arise, so her clients can focus on running their businesses and maximizing profits. “Galvanize Law is thrilled to welcome Alexis to our team” said Kate Strauss, Founding Partner of Galvanize Law Group. “Ms. Reller’s enthusiasm, expertise, work ethic, and high level of customer service make her a wonderful new addition. We're excited for the value she will bring to our clients as well as to our team's collaborative practice of law." Ms. Reller grew up in Minnesota where she attended law school, finishing a semester early to get to Colorado in time for the February bar exam (and ski season!). She has been in Colorado ever since and is an active member of the legal community. When the ski lifts are not spinning, Ms. Reller enjoys hiking, biking, and remodeling her 1906 Englewood home.
