| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
There are three chapters of emergency rules. Chapter 2 (Rules 2.1 through 2.11) is necessary because section 12-61-1104, C.R.S., requires the Division of Conservation, in consultation with the Conservation Easement Oversight Commission, to establish minimum qualifications for organizations that hold conservation easements to encourage professionalism and stability. Rule 3.1 addresses section 12-61-1104(7), the adoption of best practices, processes, and procedures used by other entities that regularly review conservation easement transactions, including a practice, process, or procedure deeming qualified conservation easement appraisals approved by these entities based on their independent reviews as credible for purposes of the conservation easement tax credit. Chapter 4 (rules 4.1 through 4.3) sets program fees for 2019, pursuant to section 12-61-1104(7)(a), (b) & (c) |
