The State of Colorado General Assembly Convenes

Colorado State Capitol

The State of Colorado General Assembly convenes the 2022 legislative session on Wednesday, January 12th. As we watch the introduction of budget, labor and employment, and legislative priority bills enter the system, IECRM will be tracking them for impact and engaging in the process. This is an election year for Colorado House and Senate members so we expect to see their priority legislation introduced as well as the “normal” flow of policy, regulatory and interest issues discussed in the halls and chambers at the State Capitol. Meetings of the IECRM government relations committee begin on Wednesday, January 5th as we map our strategy to support, oppose, or monitor legislation impacting general business, education, workforce development and our industry. Please sign up to serve as a member of the government relations committee so that you can be part of the discernment and the first to receive legislative action alerts for written and/or in-person testimony, calls to legislators, and other advocacy requests.

Also on our 2022 legislative priorities agenda is the continued engagement and monitoring of regulatory impact from previous sessions now being implemented through DORA, CDLE, PUC, and other State of Colorado agencies.

We invite all IECRM members and partners to attend the upcoming annual Building Jobs for Colorado (BJ4C) Legislative Reception on Tuesday, February 15 at the University Club in Denver as we meet, inform, and network with elected officials. BJ4C is a broad coalition of construction design professionals, general contractors, sub-contractors, sub-sub-contractors, and owner organizations across Colorado. This collective voice is important as we work together as industry stakeholders to preserve and build construction and design jobs in Colorado.

In addition, national issues are on our radar. IEC National needs your engagement as we track issues at the congressional and federal level. Please register for the Capitol Connection newsletter for up-to-date actions happening in Washington DC and impacting us locally.

IECRM Self-Pay Tuition Policy

 

Self-pay students who are employed with a member company must register and pay through the member company using the IECRM Flashpoint Enrollment Portal/Process in order to qualify for member rates.

Self-pay students that are employed with a member company but that do not register and pay through the member will be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


Self-pay students who are employed with a member company and require a payment plan will not qualify for the member rate and will be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


Self-pay students who do not work for a member company will continue to be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


To maximize association/membership benefits, ALL member companies are encouraged to register and pay for all enrolled apprentices utilizing internal payment arrangements and processes between employer and employee.


We value our IECRM members and apprentice community. We encourage all apprentices to be enrolled in the four-year apprenticeship program, earning, and learning their way toward Journeyworker licensure. We encourage all members to utilize the member discount for tuition, books and applicable fees to ensure the long-term support and success of the next-generation electrician.


(Payment Plans are available, please reference the Self Pay Payment Plan Policy.)


Self-Pay Payment Plan Policy


We offer the following arrangements for students that are unable to pay in full at the time of registration.


● Self-pay students will be charged the non-member rate.
● A 50% down payment of total semester tuition, books and applicable fees are due at registration.
● Remaining balance can be divided up to 3 additional monthly payments ($10.00 processing fee applies on each installment)
● All payments that are declined will incur a $20.00 NSF fee.

 

We encourage all students who are employed with a member company to work with their employer to register and pay through the IECRM Flashpoint Enrollment Portal/Process. This will ensure the student is paying the lowest possible rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.
