PERA operates by authority of the Colorado General Assembly and is administered under Title 24, Article 51 of the Colorado Revised Statutes. The primary purpose is to provide benefits and programs as specified by state law, and the Board of Trustees oversees the administration of these benefits and programs, as established by the state legislature. Any changes must go through the legislative process and be signed into law by the Governor.

The Colorado General Assembly passed Senate Bill 200 during the 2018 legislative session, which was a bi-partisan and comprehensive pension reform measure that made a number of changes to the contribution and benefit structure of Colorado PERA.
Colorado PERA is fully committed to providing accessible facilities, elements and
channels of communication to all members of the public. As part of this commitment, Colorado PERA
has a policy of providing an accessible website compatible with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) and
commercial screen reading software. All features of the website are coded to allow individuals with vision and
other impairments to understand and use the website to the same degree as someone without disabilities. We welcome
feedback and can often resolve issues in a timely manner if they arise.
If you need any special assistance or accommodations:
Colorado PERA has designated a compliance officer for website disability-related accommodations.
The compliance officer has received training in website accessibility and updates the site in accordance with those best
practices. Contact our accessibility officer to report an issue.
Compliance Procedures and Reports
In addition to testing with users with a wide range of disabilities and coding our website to WCAG standards,
Colorado PERA regularly scans its website to ensure ongoing compliance, and makes timely
changes to any inaccessible changes, if any are found.
