These Rules were developed in accordance with C.R.S. 26-20-101, et seq. Specific statutory authority for the development of these Rules comes from C.R.S. 26-20-108.

The purpose of these amendments is to conform these Rules to the Protection of Persons from Restraint Act; add clarifying language; and reorganize these Rules to provide enhanced clarification for implementation.
The statutory authority for amendments to these Rules is found in Section 22-32-147, C.R.S and Section 22-30.5-528, C.R.S. The purpose of these amendments is to conform to the changes made in HB 17-1276 to update the definitions section of the rules, generally prohibit the use of prone holds and restraints, and outline the process for complaints concerning the use of restraint or seclusion on a student. |
