                           Bill Summary
       
            (Note:  This summary applies to this bill as introduced and does
       not reflect any amendments that may be subsequently adopted. If this bill
       passes third reading in the house of introduction, a bill summary that
       applies to the reengrossed version of this bill will be available at

            The bill requires an operator of an assisted living facility to ensure
       that the administrator of the facility completes 30 hours of continuing
       education every 2 years. The operator must maintain records on the
       premises of the facility as proof of the fulfillment of the educational
       requirements. The department of public health and environment is
       required to promulgate rules concerning the educational requirements.
       
       
       
       Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
            SECTION 1.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, add 25-27-104.3 as
       follows:
            25-27-104.3.  Administrators - continuing education - rules.      
       Based upon a determination by the department, in consultation
       with the advisory committee established pursuant to section
       25-27-110, concerning the recommended number of continuing
       education hours and the recommended content of the education
       for administrators of assisted living facilities, on or before
       January 1, 2017, the department shall promulgate rules to
       establish the continuing education requirements, which must
       include at least one credit hour for ethics and at least one
       credit hour concerning employee management. The department
       shall report its progress concerning the establishment of
       continuing education requirements for administrators of
       assisted living facilities to a joint meeting of the public health
       care and human services committee of the senate and the health,
       insurance, and environment committee of the house of
       representatives, or their successor committees, during the
       departmental presentations pursuant to section 2-7-203, C.R.S.,
       for the 2016 and 2017 legislative sessions.
            SECTION 2.  Act subject to petition - effective date. This act
       takes effect at 12:01 a.m. on the day following the expiration of the
       ninety-day period after final adjournment of the general assembly (August
       5, 2015, if adjournment sine die is on May 6, 2015); except that, if a
       referendum petition is filed pursuant to section 1 (3) of article V of the
       state constitution against this act or an item, section, or part of this act
       within such period, then the act, item, section, or part will not take effect
       unless approved by the people at the general election to be held in
       November 2016 and, in such case, will take effect on the date of the
       official declaration of the vote thereon by the governor.
