NOTICE OF RULEMAKING HEARING

The Division is preparing initial draft rules for review and input at the work group meetings listed above. All agendas, draft rules, and any other materials will be posted on the Division’s website at least five (5) days prior to the stakeholder meeting. Additionally, links for each meeting will be posted in advance on the Division’s Rulemaking webpage.

All rulemaking meetings are open to the public and all interested parties can take an active role in this process by attending and participating in the discussion, whether during the public comment period at each meeting or by submitting written comments. Rulemaking meetings will be recorded and posted on the Division’s website by the end of the following business day.

For questions about the Division’s rulemaking process, you may contact Allison Robinette at allison.robinette@state.co.us. Anyone who is interested in participating in Colorado’s first Natural Medicine rulemaking process is encouraged to visit this page and sign up to receive updates about the Division's progress and work.

The Division continues to coordinate closely with the Natural Medicine Advisory Board (NMAB) and our partners at the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) to ensure these Rulemaking Meetings work in tandem with the NMAB’s work and avoid duplication.
