| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
The Colorado Commission for the Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and DeafBlind’s Communications Technology
Program (CTP) was established in 2002. Under the Federal “Americans with Disabilities Act,” Colorado
has a duty to provide the deaf, hard of hearing and deafblind equivalent access to governmental
services. This is accomplished by the dissemination of communications technology in the form of
amplified and captioned phones, cellular devices, such as smartphones, flip phones and tablets, ring
signalers and amplified tools, as well as specialized communications technology for deafblind though a
federal grant.
The proposed rule changes are necessary to update 27.130 ELIGIBILITY FOR THE
COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM, Section F, in order for the numbers to reflect the
current year’s (2023) Federal Poverty Guidelines. The 2023 poverty guidelines will be posted the week of
January 16-20, 2023. |

| Comments |
CDHS typically holds 2 public hearings, an initial and final, for each proposed rule. The initial hearing allowing 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. Emergency rules (ER) are adopted immediately, and are permanently adopted at a second hearing, usually the month after the initial hearing. This hearing adopted an ER which is anticipated to be adopted on a permanent basis in April 2023. Please check here for any updates on location/connection: https://cdhs.colorado.gov/sbhs |
