May 21, 2025 Board of Health Rulemaking Hearing Regarding SB24-121 - CAH Licensure

 

To: Critical Access Hospitals and all parties interested in SB24-121 From: HFEMSD Thank you to those of you who participated in the stakeholder process to implement SB24-121, concerning the creation of a separate health facility license for critical access hospitals. Through meetings held from July 2024 through September 2024, the Department created a draft critical access hospital licensing chapter, 6 CCR 1011-1, Chapter 16, in conjunction with stakeholders. After our last meeting in September 2024, the Department continued to receive feedback from stakeholders via written comment only. Written comments indicated that no changes were necessary to the proposed language, so the Department went forward with a request for rulemaking in March, as discussed at our last meeting. The Board of Health has granted our request for rulemaking and will be holding a public rulemaking hearing on May 21, 2025 at 10:00am to consider the proposed Chapter 16 - Critical Access Hospitals. Notice of the hearing is hereby given pursuant to the provisions of Section 24-4-103, C.R.S. You may provide your comments to the Board in advance of the May rulemaking hearing for their consideration. To submit written comments to the Board, please email cdphe.bohrequests@state.co.us. The Board also welcomes oral testimony regarding rulemakings and the stakeholder process at the hearing. To provide oral testimony, you must sign up before 5:00 pm on May 20, 2024. The time for giving oral testimony may be limited to 3 minutes or less.
