IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:
The attached temporary rules are promulgated for the Office of Surgical Assistant and Surgical Technologist Registration. 
The Colorado Office of Surgical Assistant and Surgical Technician registration finds immediate adoption of these rules necessary to comply with state law, specifically House Bill 10-1415 signed by the Governor. Specifically, the purpose of the temporary rule is to adopt initial rules for the program.  
The specific statutory authority that authorizes the rulemaking is C.R.S. 12-43.2-102(4), and C.R.S.  24-4-103.
The purpose of this rulemaking is to clarify who needs to register for the program and the procedure for declaratory orders. 
Therefore, I hereby adopt the rules as printed and amended with the preceding regulatory basis, statutory authority, and purpose that, in my opinion, are fair, impartial, and non-discriminatory.
Dated this 18th day of February, 2011.
