ANNOTATION
Annotator's note. The case included in the annotations to this section that refers to the industrial commission was decided prior to the enactment of 1986 Senate Bill No. 12 that abolished said commission and transferred some of its powers, duties, and functions under the workmen's compensation act to the division of labor.
Commission not stripped of authority to hold hearings and make findings. The general assembly did not intend to strip the commission of its general authority to hold hearings and make findings of fact, although such language was deleted from § 8-53-106 (2) by amendment in 1973. There are numerous other references within the workmen's compensation act to the commission's general authority to hold hearings and make factual findings. Harrison W. Corp. v. Hicks' Claimants, 185 Colo. 142, 522 P.2d 722 (1974).
Nothing in this section addresses the delegation of decision-making authority to a hearing officer or what review procedures apply to decisions issued by hearing officers. Colo. Workers for Innovative v. Gherardini, 2023 COA 80, 540 P.3d 950.
