NOTICE OF RULE MAKING HEARING

Pursuant to section 24-4-103, C.R.S. and section 12-36-104(1)(a), you are hereby advised that the Colorado State Board of Medical Examiners will hold a public rule making hearing on Thursday May 22, 2008 at 9:30 a.m. at the Colorado Capitol Building, 200 East Colfax Avenue, Room 220 (Old Supreme Court Chambers), Denver, Colorado  80203 for consideration of repeal and readoption of the Colorado Board of Medical Examiners Rules Regarding the Delegation and Supervision of Medical Services to Unlicensed Health Care Providers Pursuant to section 12-36-106(3)(l), C.R.S. (Rule 800).

The proposed revised rule under consideration is attached to this Notice and fully incorporated herein.

On November 15, 2007, the Board reviewed written information, data, views and arguments and heard public testimony regarding a proposed repeal and readoption of Rule 800.  The rulemaking proceeding was subsequently terminated pursuant to section 24-4-103(4)(d), C.R.S. because more than 180 days would elapse prior to adoption of the revised Rule.

The official record for purposes of the rulemaking hearing on May 22, 2008 will include any written submissions or oral testimony provided in connection with the rulemaking hearing regarding potential repeal and readoption of Rule 800 held on November 15, 2007.  The Board discourages written submissions or oral testimony that is duplicative of material already submitted or testimony already provided, because previously-submitted information will be fully considered in connection with the May 22, 2008 rulemaking hearing.

Interested parties may submit written comments to the letterhead address regarding this matter by no later than Tuesday May 6, 2008.  In addition, at the time and place designated at this notice, the Board of Medical Examiners will afford interested parties an opportunity to submit written information, data, views or arguments.  In its discretion, the Board may also afford interested parties an opportunity to make brief oral presentations.  The Board encourages interested parties to avoid duplicating previously-submitted material and testimony.

BY ORDER OF THE COLORADO STATE BOARD OF MEDICAL EXAMINERS
