Summary

Official abstract published by the Colorado legislature· summary

The act implements recommendations of the department of regulatory agencies' (department) sunset review and report on the division of professions and occupations in the department.     Sections 1 and 2 of the act allow a regulator to delegate authority for administrative tasks authorized by statute or other tasks specifically authorized through the policy of a board or commission to a designee at the regulator's discretion.     Section 3 changes the amount of time a licensee, certificate holder, or registrant (licensee) who receives a letter of admonition has to request a hearing to within 25 days after the date of issuance of the letter of admonition, rather than within 20 days after receipt of the letter.     Sections 3 through 22 clarify that a regulator may provide communications to licensees through email.     In current law, the executive director of the department collects an excise tax of $1 upon the payment of fees for the renewal of a license, registration, or certificate. Section 23 changes the term used to refer to this payment from an 'excise tax' to an 'additional fee'.     Sections 25 through 30 restore provisions repealed in 2024 by House Bill 24-1329 concerning the continuation of the state board of licensure for architects, professional engineers, and professional land surveyors, regarding enrollment by endorsement for engineer-interns and land surveyor-interns and licensure by endorsement for professional engineers and professional land surveyors.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
