8/7/07-A new law now in effect requires officials with household goods movers in the state to submit to a fingerprint-based criminal history record check.
The new law, previously HB1249, requires the checks for owners, directors, officers and general partners of household movers. Registrants must supply the following information with each registration form: first, middle and last names; gender; Social Security number; and date and place of birth.
The Public Utilities Commission is allowed to “deny, revoke or refuse to renew the registration of a mover that is not of good moral character … or has not satisfied a civil or criminal judgment against it.”
Intrastate movers also are required to provide shippers with a standard consumer advisement and provide for an arbitration process in regard to any disputes. In addition, it prohibits unregistered movers from acquiring or enforcing a carrier’s lien.
4/23/07-The Senate Appropriations Committee approved a bill that would require officials with newly registered household goods movers to submit to a fingerprint-based criminal history record check.
Sponsored by Rep. Dianne Primavera, D-Broomfield, HB1249 was stalled for a short time in a House committee. Upon restart, the bill quickly gained passage on the House floor by a 45-20 vote. The vote cleared the way for the bill to head to the Senate for further consideration.
The bill would require the checks for owners, directors, officers and general partners in newly registered household movers. After Jan. 1, 2008, the rule would apply to movers already registered.
