Bill > SB192

This bill extends the regulatory functions of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment regarding Community Integrated Health-Care Service Agencies from September 1, 2025, to September 1, 2034. The bill updates the definition of "Community Integrated Health-Care Service" to include mobile integrated health care and other care services determined by rule, and clarifies the definition of a Community Integrated Health-Care Service Agency. It modifies licensing and inspection requirements for these agencies, including background check procedures for owners, managers, and administrators. The bill updates language to replace terms like "consumers" with "patients or clients" and expands the definition of "convicted" to include plea entries. The legislation also makes technical changes to references in other sections of Colorado law, such as updating the membership of the EMS system sustainability task force and adjusting adult protective services check requirements. These changes are part of a sunset review process to continue and refine the regulation of community integrated health-care service agencies in Colorado.
