Understanding the Rulemaking Process 

Colorado Regulations and Rulemaking

Colorado regulates many professions, occupations and businesses to support a fair marketplace and protect consumers. A regulation is a rule created by a state agency that affects the regulated entity or the public. Executive Branch agencies must adhere to the rulemaking process outlined in the  Administrative Procedure Act or APA (Section 24-4-101, Colorado Revised Statutes) unless explicitly exempted.

The Colorado Office of Policy, Research & Regulatory Reform (COPRRR) within the Department of Regulatory Agencies reviews regulation and policy throughout state government to ensure the regulation is necessary, effective, consistent, flexible and fair.
