A Colorado legislator has proposed a bill to limit spending at state-chartered entities, like Pinnacol Assurance.
Last year, the the quasi-governmental workers’ compensation insurer was criticized for lavish spending at a work-related event at Pebble Beach, Calif.
The bill, House Bill 1121, would prohibit any spending on behalf of any board member, officer or employee on travel-related expenditures that would exceed, on a daily basis, two times the maximum allowable federal per diem rate. State-chartered entities also would be prohibited from making travel-related expenditures on behalf of a spouse or immediate family of an employee.
The bill is scheduled to be heard by the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee on Thursday.
