Section 6 CCR 1007-3-7.02 - Authority, Scope, and Purpose(1) Authority for the Commission to promulgate these procedural rules is found at Section 25-15-302(7)(b), C.R.S. These rules are intended to implement and be consistent with the requirements of the State Administrative Procedure Act, Sections 24-4-101, et seq., (APA) as amended, CHWA, Sections 25-15-301, et seq., C.R.S., and SWDA Sections 30-20-101, et seq., C.R.S. Where there is a conflict between the requirements of the APA, CHWA and the SWDA, the provisions of CHWA, Sections 25-15-301, et seq., C.R.S. shall prevail.(2) These procedural rules shall govern all procedures and hearings before the Commission and are intended to assure that such procedures and hearings are fair and impartial as required by Section 25-15-302(7)(b), C.R.S.(3) Except as necessary to comply with the applicable statutes, the requirements of these rules may be waived whenever the Commission determines that strict adherence to these rules is not in the best interests of fairness, impartiality, or an efficient proceeding before the Commission. A party to any proceeding before the Commission who, during the proceeding, fails to raise an objection regarding lack of compliance with any procedural requirement of these regulations waives that issue for the purpose of judicial review.(4) It is the intent of the Commission to conduct its duties and responsibilities in a manner which fosters substantive discussion on the issues and minimizes burdensome procedures which impede the Commission's substantive work.37 CR 24, December 25, 2014, effective 3/2/201538 CR 11, June 10, 2015, effective 6/30/201539 CR 05, March 10, 2016, effective 3/30/201639 CR 11, June 10, 2016, effective 6/30/201640 CR 06, March 25, 2017, effective 4/14/201740 CR 11, June 10, 2017, effective 6/30/201740 CR 21, November 10, 2017, effective 11/30/201741 CR 06, March 25, 2018, effective 4/14/201841 CR 11, June 10, 2018, effective 6/30/201841 CR 24, December 25, 2018, effective 1/14/201942 CR 06, March 25, 2019, effective 4/14/201942 CR 06, March 25, 2019, effective 5/30/201942 CR 11, June 10, 2019, effective 6/30/201943 CR 12, June 25, 2020, effective 7/15/202044 CR 06, March 25, 2021, effective 4/14/202144 CR 11, June 10, 2021, effective 6/30/202144 CR 24, December 25, 2021, effective 1/14/202245 CR 11, June 10, 2022, effective 6/30/202245 CR 17, September 10, 2022, effective 9/10/202245 CR 17, September 10, 2022, effective 9/30/202245 CR 23, December 10, 2022, effective 1/30/2023
