Emergency and Permanent Rulemaking Hearing - October 28, 2022

The State Board of Marriage and Family Therapist Examiners will hold an Emergency and Permanent Rulemaking Hearing to allow stakeholders a final opportunity to provide testimony before the Board considers adopting multiple proposed new and revised rules to implement Colorado Senate Bill 22-116 (Concerning the ability of an individual to obtain an occupational credential through the occupational credential portability program); Colorado House Bill 22-1284 (Concerning updates to state surprise billing laws to facilitate the implementation of surprise billing protections, and aligning state law with the federal "No Surprises Act"); Executive Order D 2022-032 (Directing State Agencies to Protect Access to Reproductive Health Care in Colorado); and Executive Order D 2022-034 (Protecting Colorado’s Workforce and Expanding Licensing Opportunities). The Board will consider all proposed rules on a permanent basis, and in addition, will consider an emergency adoption of Rules 1.24 and 1.25, to comply with the Executive Orders and reporting requirements.

 

Permanent Rulemaking Hearing - October 29, 2021

The State Board of Marriage and Family Therapist Examiners held a Permanent Rulemaking Hearing on October 29, 2021, that allowed stakeholders a final opportunity to provide feedback before the Board considered adopting revisions to the Rule 1.8(B), to implement Colorado Senate Bill 21-077 (Concerning the elimination of verification of an individual's lawful presence in the United States as a requirement for individual credentialing).

 

Permanent Rulemaking Hearing - May 5, 2021

Due to a filling error with the Colorado Secretary of State, the State Board of Marriage and Family Therapist Examiners rescheduled the Permanent Rulemaking Hearing on March 26, 2021, to May 5, 2021. The purpose of this rescheduled Permanent Rulemaking Hearing is to ensure all stakeholders have the correct hearing information, adequate notice, and are allowed a final opportunity to provide feedback before the Board considers adopting revisions to Rule 1.6 to implement Colorado House Bill 19-1129 (Prohibiting mental health care providers from engaging in conversion therapy with a patient under eighteen years of age); and revisions to Rules 1.12, 1.22, and Appendix A to correct language that's a conflict with portions of the statutes in Colorado House Bill 20-1326 (Concerning an expansion of an individual's ability to practice an occupation in Colorado through the creation of an occupational credential portability program) and Colorado Senate Bill 20-102 (Concerning required disclosures to patients regarding formal actions based on sexual misconduct).
