| Description of Subjects/Issues |
The Division of Child Welfare is working with stakeholders and county departments to review and make modifications to the Code of Colorado Regulations 7.306 to clearly reflect federal and state law regulations regarding the adoption program. The Child Protection Ombudsman recommended the Colorado Department of Human Services’ Division of Child Welfare work with stakeholders to amend Colorado Code of Regulations to ensure they accurately reflect the federal and state law regarding the adoption program. Currently the rules are outdated and lack clarity regarding adoption practice in Colorado. The Division of Child Welfare is revising (CCR)- 7.306 through the Permanency Task Group, which includes stakeholders, county departments of human/social services, the Child Protection Ombudsman’s office, adoption advocates and community members by reviewing and making modifications to rule, to reflect federal and state law regarding the adoption assistance program and adoption practice in Colorado. The revisions to these rules will ensure county departments of human/social services accurately interpret rules regarding the adoption assistance program and adoption practice. Code of Colorado Regulation Rule revisions have been divided into to 3 packets: Pre- Adoption (Packet 1) Post Adoption (Packet 2) and Adoption Assistance (Packet 3). This is packet 3 of 3. |

| Comments |
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.
