STATUTORY AUTHORITY:
The Commissioner's authority for the adoption of these Permanent Rule Amendments is set forth in § 35-14-107(1)(o) and § 35-1-107(5)(a), C.R.S. 
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Permanent Rule Amendment is to amend Regulation 8 1.1 to change the license expiration date for operation of commercial weighing and measuring devices from June 30 to December 31.  
FACTUAL AND POLICY BASIS:
The factual and policy issues pertaining to the adoption of these Permanent Rule Amendments are as follows:
1.	This change is necessary to allow the Department to consolidate licensing functions to one time per year for all licenses issued by the ICS Division.  
2.	The Department of Agriculture is moving its licensing functions from a paper based system to an online system. To accommodate licensee’s who hold multiple licenses with the Department of Agriculture, we are establishing a common licensing date so a licensee can obtain all their licenses in one transaction.
