Colorado Revised Statutes Title 25. Health § 25-3.5-1305. License--application--inspection--record check--issuance

(2)(a) The department shall inspect an agency as it deems necessary to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of agency consumers. An agency shall submit in writing, in a form and manner prescribed by the department, a plan detailing the measures that the agency will take to correct any violations found by the department as a result of an inspection.

(b) The department shall keep all medical records and personally identifying information obtained during an inspection of an agency confidential. All records and information obtained by the department through an inspection are exempt from disclosure pursuant to sections 24-72-204, C.R.S., and 25-1-124.

(b) The department may deny a license or renewal of a license if the results of a record check of an owner, manager, or administrator demonstrates that the owner, manager, or administrator has been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor involving conduct that the department determines could pose a risk to the health, safety, or welfare of community integrated health-care service consumers.

(c) If an agency applying for an initial license is temporarily unable to satisfy all of the requirements for licensure, the department may issue a provisional license to the agency; except that the department shall not issue a provisional license to an agency if operation of the agency will adversely affect the health, safety, or welfare of the agency's consumers. The department may require an agency applying for a provisional license to demonstrate to the department's satisfaction that the agency is taking sufficient steps to satisfy all of the requirements for full licensure. A provisional license is valid for ninety days and may be renewed one time at the department's discretion.
