Entire rule repealed eff. 03/30/2019.
Statement of Basis, Specific Statutory Authority and Purpose
Adopted February 13, 2019 - Effective March 30, 2019
Statutory Authority
These Rules are being proposed for repeal by the Commissioner of the Colorado Department Agriculture ("CDA") as set forth in HB 18-1183.
Purpose
The purpose of this rulemaking is to repeal the existing "Rules Pertaining to the Administration and Enforcement of the Sale of Meat Act Method of Sale of Home Food Service" currently codified at 8 CCR 1202-12. HB 18-1183 eliminates the regulation of home food service plans.
Factual and Policy Basis
The Department of Regulatory Agencies performed a Sunset Review in 2017 of the Colorado Sale of Meat Act. The review resulted in the recommendation that the General Assembly eliminate the regulation of home food service plans.
The need for the Departments home food service regulatory program has become obsolete as the number of licensees has declined to less than ten licensees making the cash funded program unsustainable.
House Bill 18-1183 repealed article 35.5 of Title 35 C.R.S. effective July 1, 2018.
