Representative Lundeen, bill sponsor, presented Senate Bill 17-082. The reengrossed bill requires the owner or chief executive officer of an addiction program seeking a license to compound, administer, or dispense a controlled substance to have a fingerprint-based criminal history background check conducted by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) when applying for an initial license. The fingerprints and background check request are submitted through the Department of Human Services (DHS) and the fee for the background check must be paid by the applicant to the CBI in the Department of Public Safety. In addition, the bill requires applicants to disclose information to the DHS about any regulatory action taken against the applicant for an addiction program that it operates that is licensed or regulated in another state. The DHS must post information on its website about licensed addiction programs, including their locations, hours of operation, and contact information. The DHS must also report certain information about licensed addiction programs to the Joint Budget Committee and the Health and Human Services committees of the General Assembly by January 1, 2019.
