#15-8-26-1: Revisions to Behavioral Health Rules as a Result of Comprehensive Rule Review |
| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
The proposed rule changes are intended to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the behavioral health rules and to provide a more streamlined process for service providers to protect the safety, health, and welfare of Colorado residents.
In accordance with Section 24-4-103.3, C.R.S., all state agencies are required to complete a mandatory review of all their agency rules in consultation with the Department of Regulatory Agencies. A review of the Office of Behavioral Health’s existing rules was on the Department of Human Services schedule for 2015. This comprehensive rule review has been completed. Rules were found that require clarification and technical clean-up to enhance the effectiveness, efficiency, and elegance of the behavioral health rules. |
