See attachment for detailed description.
CDHS holds two public hearings, an initial and final, for each proposed rule packet.
The initial hearing allows the public an opportunity to submit written data, views, or arguments and to testify for or against the proposed rules. The Board does not vote on the proposed rule at the initial hearing, but asks CDHS to consider all public comment and discussion and, if needed, submit revisions to the proposed rule.
The final hearing, usually the month following the initial hearing, allows the same opportunity for public comment, after which the Board votes on final adoption of the proposed rule.
Please visit CDHS State Board website for meeting dates.

| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
12 CCR 2518-1 are the program rules for the Adult Protective Services (APS) program, as authorized by Title 26, Article 3.1, C.R.S. The APS program provides protective services for at-risk adults who are experiencing mistreatment or are self-neglecting. The purpose of this proposed rule change is to update sections of the Adult Protective Services (APS) rules to reflect the changes made in recent legislation (HB17-1284). HB17-1284 implements a process requiring employers of specific professions to conduct a background check to determine if an applicant has been substantiated in an APS case of mistreatment against an at-risk adult. This rule packet is specific to perpetrator notification, due process rights, and appeals processes. |
