Statement of Basis, Specific Statutory Authority and Purpose Adopted June 8, 2016 - Effective July 30, 2016
Statutory Authority
These rules are being repealed by the Commissioner of Agriculture pursuant to his authorities at § 35-80-109, C.R.S.
Purpose
The purpose of this rulemaking is to repeal the existing Rules Pertaining to the Administration and Enforcement of the Pet Animal Care and Facilities Act currently codified at 8 CCR 1201-11. The Rules will be re-enacted and amended at 8 CCR 1202-15.
Factual and Policy Basis
Currently the rules are codified at 8 CCR 1201-11 with the other rules promulgated under the statutory programs administered and enforced by the Animal Health Division of the Colorado Department of Agriculture. The Pet Animal Care and Facilities Act Program was moved from the Animal Health Division to the Inspection and Consumer Services Division in 2014.
Along with the repeal of the existing rules, the Department is readopting the rules in a separate rulemaking proceeding, making some changes and recodifying them at 8 CCR 1202-15 with the Inspection and Consumer Services Divisions other rules. This will make it easier for the public to locate and access them online.
