New rules are available on our site.
Other issues were discussed and will be summarized here when minutes are received. The Colorado Medical Board held a rule making hearing on Thursday, May 11th to consider changes to the rules for EMTs. The rules were passed by the board, but will not go into effect until November of 2000. This will allow agencies to continue to provide care at their current level while applying to the Board for waivers under the new rules.
