C.R.S. § 42-7-505.5

Motor carrier indemnity agreements void

Known as the Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Act

The act spans §§ 42-7-101 to 42-7-609 (48 sections).

(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if any provision of a transportation contract purports to indemnify, defend, or hold harmless or has the effect of indemnifying, defending, or holding harmless the indemnitee from or against any liability for loss or damage resulting from its own negligence or intentional acts or omissions, then, to that extent, the provision is hereby declared contrary to public policy and is therefore void. (2) Notwithstanding any contractual provision to the contrary, the laws of the state of Colorado apply to every transportation contract executed or renewed, or under which services are performed, within the state of Colorado.
