STATEMENT OF BASIS AND PURPOSE
FOR REVISION OF RULES AND REGULATIONS

BASIS:  The authority for revision of these Rules and Regulations by the Colorado State Board of Examiners of Nursing Home administrators is set forth in Section 12-39-105(4), C.R.S. 

PURPOSE: The purpose for the revision to Rule 2.B.1 is to clarify the credentials and qualifications for licensure candidates through endorsement that are substantially equivalent to the requirements for admission to examination in Colorado, pursuant to Section 12-39-106, C.R.S.  The purpose for the revisions to Rules 1.7, 2.B, 2.C, 2.E, and 3.5.a is to further clarify the rules based upon the statutory requirements.  The purpose for the revisions to the captions next to each rule title is to clarify the effective date for each rule. 

The Board believes the proposed revisions to the existing rules are fair, impartial and non-discriminatory.
