| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
The Division of Child Welfare has specific rules that require Colorado county caseworkers to complete face-to-face contacts with children, youth, parents and intended long-term caregivers when they are involved in ongoing child protection cases. During the COVID-19 pandemic, guidance from the Administration for Children and Families’ Associate Commissioner of the Children’s Bureau allows for video conferencing during the state of emergency. This emergency rule allows for the Division of Child Welfare to utilize video conferencing for Colorado counties to continue providing child welfare services, specifically caseworker contacts, through video technology. This rule was adopted on an emergency/temporary basis, and it is anticipated that it will be adopted on a permanent basis through SOS # 2020-00282. |

| Comments |
CDHS typically holds 2 public hearings, an initial and final, for each proposed rule. The initial hearing allowing 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. Emergency rules (ER) are adopted immediately, and are permanently adopted at a second hearing, usually the month after the initial hearing. This rule was adopted on an emergency/temporary basis, it is anticipated that it will be adopted on a permanent basis through 2020-00282 Meeting information:https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdhs-boards-committees-collaboration/state-board-human-services |
