RULES GOVERNING THE MOTORCYCLE OPERATOR SAFETY TRAINING (MOST) PROGRAM
2 CCR 601-23
Statement of Basis and Purpose and Statutory Authority
These Rules are adopted pursuant to § 43-5-502 (1)(d), and (1)(III)(b), C.R.S., by the Department of Transportation to establish a motorcycle operator safety training program ("MOST Program") that promotes motorcycle safety awareness and supports courses to teach students to safely operate a motorcycle and train instructors.
The MOST Program Rules, 2 CCR 601-23, were last adopted on December 12, 2012 and became effective on March 17, 2013. Thereafter, HB13-1083, codified at § 43-5-501, et seq. C.R.S., required amendments to the rules to conform to new legislation. The Department is significantly revising the rules to improve the Program and provide greater accountability and transparency. This rule making effort requested the input from knowledgeable stakeholders involved in motorcycle training.  The MOST Program Rules, 2 CCR 601-23, became effective on November 17, 2013.  Thereafter, the Office of Legislative Legal Services required the rules to be amended to correct a typographical error to Rule 9.01.7 and address range dimensions in Rule 9.02. The Department has determined that range dimensions are not required by statute to be explicitly included in the rules and thus propose deleting 9.02 The rules are only opened for these issues raised by the Office of Legislative Legal Services.
