2023 Colorado Revised Statutes › Title 25.5 - HEALTH CARE POLICY AND FINANCING (§§ 25.5-1-101 — 25.5-11-101) › COLORADO MEDICAL ASSISTANCE ACT (§§ 25.5-4-101 — 25.5-6-2001) › Article 5 - COLORADO MEDICAL ASSISTANCE ACT - SERVICES AND PROGRAMS (§§ 25.5-5-101 — 25.5-5-804) › Part 8 - CHILDREN AND YOUTH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS (§§ 25.5-5-801 — 25.5-5-804) › Section 25.5-5-801 - Legislative declaration

(1)
The general assembly finds and declares that:
(a)
In order to provide quality behavioral health services to families of children and youth with behavioral health challenges, behavioral health services should be coordinated among state departments and political subdivisions of the state and should be culturally competent, cost-effective, and provided in the least restrictive settings;
(b)
The behavioral health system and child- and youth-serving agencies are often constrained by resource capacity and systemic barriers that can create difficulties in providing appropriate and cost-effective interventions and services for children and youth;
(c)
Children and youth with behavioral health challenges may require a multi-system level of care that can lead to duplication and fragmentation of services. To avoid these problems, keep families together, and support caregivers during a child's or youth's behavioral health challenge, departments and political subdivisions of the state must collaborate with one another.
(d)
The Colorado state innovation model, an initiative housed in the office of the governor, has worked to integrate behavioral health and physical health, has made significant progress advancing the use of alternative payment models, and has created infrastructure for screening and innovative payment reforms. However, future work is needed to further expand and improve integrated services for children and families, with a focus on early and upstream interventions.
(2)
The general assembly further finds and declares that, building upon work completed by Colorado's trauma-informed system of care, Colorado must implement a model of comprehensive system of care for families of children and youth with behavioral health challenges.

(1)
The state board shall adopt such rules as are necessary with respect to trusts established pursuant to sections

to

(b)
Reasonable financial reimbursement or incentives to the state department, county departments of human or social services, and any other designated agencies for the efforts and expenses in monitoring trusts, and where necessary, for the recovery of trust property that has been improperly distributed or otherwise expended.
(2)
The state board shall comply with Title XIX of the federal "Social Security Act",
42 U.S.C. sec. 1396p(d)(5)
, as amended, which requires the state medicaid agency to establish procedures, in accordance with standards specified by the secretary of the United States department of health and human services, under which the state medicaid agency may waive the application of the general rules for considering trust property in determining eligibility for medical assistance if the applicant for medical assistance establishes that the application of the general rules would work an undue hardship on the individual.
(3)
The state department shall determine the feasibility of providing ongoing support of dependents by using the trust corpus during the life of the person for whom a trust is created or using the remainder of the trust after the death of the person for whom the trust was created. If the state department determines that it is feasible to provide that support, the state department shall seek a waiver from the federal government to permit the use of trust property for that purpose.
