CO SB063

The Department of Regulatory Agencies shall establish a schedule in consultation with principal departments for reviewing all rules of each principal department to assess their continuing need, appropriateness, and cost-effectiveness.

Each principal department must evaluate its rules considering eight factors: necessity, overlaps with other rules, plain language clarity, achievement of desired intent, flexibility and regulatory burden reduction, efficient implementation, whether cost-benefit analysis was performed, and adequacy for public safety and health protection.

Rule-making agencies must provide public notice on their website of rule reviews, give the public opportunity to provide input, and notify other relevant state agencies for collaboration before determining whether rules should be continued, amended, or repealed.

The Department of Regulatory Agencies shall not schedule mandatory reviews during the year of or year following any scheduled sunset review under section 24-34-104.

Each principal department must include a report on mandatory rule review results in its departmental regulatory agenda submitted to the Legislative Council for distribution to applicable legislative committees.
