Provisions of section 25-9-104, C.R.S. provide the specific statutory authority for the adoption amendments to the established regulatory provisions of Regulation 100 governing the requirements for water and wastewater facility operators (5 CCR 1003-2). The Board hereby adopts, in compliance with section 24-4-103(4), C.R.S., the following statement of basis and purpose.
BASIS AND PURPOSE
The Colorado legislature passed Senate Bill 21-077 in May 2021, which repealed the "lawful presence" verification requirement for individuals seeking licenses or certifications from state agencies. Therefore, the board conducted a "written comment only rulemaking" to remove the requirement in 100.14.1 that applicants for operator certification provide verification of lawful presence in the United States.
