C.R.S. § 25.5-6-105

(1) The general assembly hereby finds, determines, and declares that: (a) A study of a single entry point system in accordance with former section 26-4.5-404 , C.R.S., has been completed; (b) The establishment of a single entry point system for the coordination of access to existing services and service delivery for all long-term care clients at the local level can be implemented in a cost-efficient manner; (c) The implementation of a well-managed single entry point system will result in the utilization of more appropriate services by long-term care clients over time and will provide better information on the unmet service needs of clients; and (d) The implementation of a statewide single entry point system is a comprehensive undertaking and would be more conducive to a phased-in approach. (2) The general assembly further finds, determines, and declares that it is appropriate to develop and implement, through four phases, a single entry point system for the state and, therefore, enacts sections 26-4-522 to 26-4-525 , which were relocated to sections 25.5-6-106 and 25.5-6-107 , respectively, in the 2006 recodification of this title, to provide for such development and implementation. (3) This section is repealed, effective July 1, 2024.
