Analysis

A broad rulemaking adoption that affects several programs under the Secretary of State’s oversight implements new rules for conducting administrative hearings before the Secretary of State. As such, the new rules affect rules under elections, campaign and political finance, the Colorado Charitable Solicitations Act, lobbyist regulation, and Notary program. The lion share of this new rule consists of the general procedural rules for conducting administrative proceedings affecting these departments, and each department’s rules needed to be amended with a reference to the new hearing rules.
