Under current law, the Podiatry Board and the regulation of podiatrists, which is housed in the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA), is scheduled to repeal on July 1, 2019. This bill extends the repeal date to September 1, 2026, after a sunset review by DORA. The bill also clarifies that a podiatrist must pass an exam in order to be licensed by the Podiatry Board; allows the board to enter into a confidential agreement with a podiatrist to limit their scope of practice if the podiatrist suffers from a physical or mental illness; and removes the requirement that the board send a letter of admonition through certified mail. In addition, a podiatrist may be subject to discipline if a podiatrist does not limit their practice as agreed to in the confidential agreement. 10:39:01 AM Yelana Love, Office of Legislative Legal Services, discussed amendments L.001 and L.002 (Attachments A and B). 10:40:36 AM Senator Fields discussed amendment L.001 (Attachment A). 10:42:18 AM Dustin Kruse, Colorado Foot and Ankle Society, testified in support of the bill. 10:43:49 AM Daniel Moon, Colorado Orthopedic Society, testified in support of the bill. 10:45:03 AM Corky Kyle, Colorado Coalition for Podiatric Reform, testified in support of the bill. 10:52:00 AM Motion Adopt amendment L.002 (Attachment B).
