Colorado Human Services Code

Colorado · Human Services Code · §§ 26-1-101 to 26-8.3-105 · 194 sections

Overview

The Colorado Human Services Code establishes the state's framework for administering public assistance and social services, creating the Department of Human Services and transferring related functions to it, along with a state board of human services and an executive director vested with rulemaking and supervisory powers. It builds a state-supervised, county-administered structure in which county departments, county boards, and county directors carry out programs under state oversight, with staffing governed by a merit system and cooperation with the federal government authorized where federal programs are involved. The act also sets the financing machinery for these programs — appropriations, a public assistance funding model, county social services funds and budgets, and a county contingency fund — and addresses confidentiality of records, fraudulent acts and erroneous payments, licensing, and services for persons with developmental disabilities.
