Justification of Emergency Status for Occupational Therapy Rules

The Colorado Office of Occupational Therapy Registration finds that immediate adoption of these rules is necessary to comply with state law, specifically Senate Bill 13-180 concerning the continuation of the regulation of occupational therapists in the State of Colorado.  The Director further finds compliance with the requirements of§ 24-4-103, C.R.S. applicable to non-emergency rules would be contrary to the public interest. Permanent rules have also been filed and will be effective July 2014.
