Annotations

Rules 306.c.(1)(A) introductory portion; 306.c.(1)(A)(i); 306.c.(1)(A)(ii); 306.c.(1)(A)(iii); 604.a.(1); and 604.a.(10) (adopted 12/11/2008) were due to be repealed by House Bill 09-1292 effective 05/15/2009. Prior to this date all of the above rule sections were amended by the agency effective 05/01/2009.

Rule 525.b. (adopted 07/28/2014) was not extended by Senate Bill 15-100 and therefore expired 05/15/2015.

State regulations are updated quarterly; we currently have two versions available. Below is a comparison between our most recent version and the prior quarterly release. More comparison features will be added as we have more versions to compare.
