Attorney General Phil Weiser announced that he has reached a settlement with hospital provider HCA over allegations the company violated Colorado consumer protection laws when it withheld information about training repayment agreement provisions, also called TRAPs, from prospective nurses. The attorneys general of California and Nevada also joined the settlement. “Prospective employees who are offered this type of training repayment arrangement deserve to know the full story before they get too far down the road of accepting an employment opportunity and such training arrangements should not unfairly treat workers. In this case, HCA deceived nurses and mistreated them, failing to provide enough information about how much an employee might owe, how long they would have to remain employed, and any potential late fees or charges.” – AG Weiser
