Preliminary Draft of Proposed Rules

May 13, 2011

Disclaimer:  This draft is not necessarily final.  The proposed changes to be considered at the public rulemaking hearing may be different than the proposed changes in this draft.  This draft is submitted to the Department of Regulatory Agencies for the purpose of complying with section 24-4-103(2.5), C.R.S., which requires that a draft be submitted to the Department at the time that a notice of proposed rulemaking is filed with the Secretary of State.

If revisions to this draft are made prior to the rulemaking hearing, a revised copy of the proposed rule changes will be available to the public no later than June 9, 2011, and a copy will be posted on the Department of State’s web site, in compliance with the requirement of section 24-4-103(4)(a), C.R.S., that “[a]ny proposed rule or revised proposed rule by an agency which is to be considered at the public hearing…shall be made available to any person at least five days prior to said hearing.”
Proposed additions to the current rules are reflected in small caps.  Proposed deletions from current rules are shown in stricken type.   Annotations may be included.
Rule 5.13 would be adopted as follows:
5.13	Reports of contributions and expenditures required by section 1‑45‑108(2)(a)(I)(B), C.R.S., are not required to be filed.  This is to resolve the conflict between sections 1-45-108(2)(a)(I)(A) and (B), C.R.S.,  created by the passage of Senate Bill 11-189, which adjusts the date of the primary election to the last Tuesday in June.
