ANNOTATION
Annotator's note. The case included in the annotations to this section which refers to the industrial commission was decided prior to the enactment of 1986 Senate Bill No. 12 which abolished said commission and transferred its powers, duties, and functions under this section to the director of the division.
When two sections of this article are pertinent, the commission has wide latitude in determining which section it will apply. Colo. State Judicial Dept. v. Indus. Comm'n, 630 P.2d 102 (Colo. App. 1981).
