Description of Subjects/Issues Pursuant to the Colorado Licensing of Controlled Substances Act, in Part 2 of Article 80 of Title 27, C.R.S. (2021), a substance use disorder (SUD) program that compounds, administers, or dispenses a controlled substance must annually obtain a controlled substance license from the Office of Behavioral Health (OBH). On January 6, 2021 a Controlled Substance Licensing rule update was adopted by the State Board of Human Service. After the adopted rules went into effect, the Office of Behavioral Health and the State Board of Human Services received stakeholder feedback expressing concern with the new Controlled Substance Licensing rule updates. This rule update is a follow-up to the rules adopted January 6, 2021 and is specifically designed to better align Controlled Substance Licensing and Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) rules with Federal Controlled Substance Licensing/OTP requirements; address licensing procedures as required by the Office of Legislative Legal Services; and promote better access to medication assisted treatment services throughout Colorado. NOTE: Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, it is anticipated that this meeting will take place entirely online.

Comments CDHS holds two public hearings, an initial and final, for each proposed rule packet. The initial hearing allows the public an opportunity to submit written data, views, or arguments and to testify for or against the proposed rules. The Board does not vote on the proposed rule at the initial hearing, but asks CDHS to consider all public comment and discussion and, if needed, submit revisions to the proposed rule. The final hearing, usually the month following the initial hearing, allows the same opportunity for public comment, after which the Board votes on final adoption of the proposed rule.
