Laws and Rules

The State of Colorado is in a period of regulatory transition and behavioral health reform. Concurrently, the state is entering a period of rule promulgation and updates related to the BHA provider rules.

The content and structure of this BHA Laws and Rules page is being restructured to better serve your needs and guide you to the best starting point for your engagement with BHA. If you are interested in the upcoming rule process, this page is for you.
