Rulemaking

1. Attend meetings and participate in the discussion:

   All members of the public can attend rulemaking meetings and participate in the discussion by signing up to provide comments. These structured work group meetings will be focused on the announced topic(s) and will include time limitations on comments to ensure everyone who signs up to provide comment has an opportunity to do so. Feedback gained during the rulemaking work groups will be used to inform future meeting agenda items, discussions, questions, and the development of the Division’s proposed rules. All meetings listed below will be accessible virtually using the Zoom information below. You may access all rulemaking materials in the Natural Medicine Division - Public Resources Folder.

   Select meetings may also include an opportunity to join the rulemaking work groups in-person. The Division's Rulemaking page will identify which meetings will have an in-person option. Unless otherwise noticed on the Division’s rulemaking webpage, in-person work group meetings will be held at the Department of Revenue’s offices:

           In-Person Option (Select meetings only):
           1707 Cole Blvd., Ste. 300 
           Red Rocks Conference Room

2. Submit written comments:
   Interested stakeholders are also encouraged to submit comments on the draft rules using the Division’s written comment form. All comments submitted through this form are logged and reviewed throughout the rulemaking process to inform future meeting agenda items, discussions, questions, and the Division’s proposed rules.

Next Steps:

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.
