The Board of Health has posted a "Notice of Emergency Rulemaking Hearing" to be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2009 at 10:30 a.m. This hearing proposes to eliminate the Board of Health definition of "significant responsibility for managing the well-being of a patient", since it conflicts with the recent Court of Appeals interpretation of the Constitutional definition of "primary caregiver" contained in the People v. Clendenin case.
This is from the Board of Health announcement:
Pursuant to C.R.S. 24-4-103(6), the State Board of Health will hold an
emergency rulemaking hearing to consider the repeal of 5 CCR 1006-2,
Regulation 2(A)(iii) (definition of "significant responsibility for
managing the well-being of a patient.") to remove the rule's conflict with
the Colorado Court of Appeals decision in People v. Clendenin, No. 08CA0624
The emergency rulemaking hearing will be held by teleconference on Tuesday,
November 3, 2009 at 10:30 a.m. The teleconference will be held in the Snow
Room, 1st Floor, Building A at the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment, 4300 Cherry Creek Dr. South, Denver, CO. Please be advised
that the Snow Room accommodates 20 people.
