Hearings & Proposed Rulemaking
- Fire & Life Safety General Rule Update Proposed by the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control (DFPC)

Fire & Life Safety General Rule Update Proposed by DFPC
The Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control (DFPC) has announced the beginning of a rulemaking process regarding updates to the Fire & Life Safety General Rule, 8 CCR 1507-101. As part of the early "informal" rulemaking process before formal rulemaking begins, DFPC is inviting public comment on the proposed changes from the public and all stakeholders.
The purpose of this proposed rule change is several fold. First, the rule change addresses the Division’s need to update the Codes and Standards adopted by the Division and utilized in various programs to newer, more updated editions.
Second, this rule change moves the general requirements for inspector certification related to third-party inspectors out of 4.2.2 and into section 4.1 for third-party inspectors, which should aid in resolving confusion created when these requirements were located in section 4.2.
Third, this rule change adds language to clarify the timeline for the renewal periods related to inspector certifications and adds a fee for late renewal of these certifications.
Fourth, this rule change allows for general clean-up of grammatical and formatting errors.
Drafts of the rule showing the proposed changes are available here:
DRAFT General Rule (8 CCR 1507-101)
Comments regarding the proposed rules may be submitted using this online Comment Form. Alternatively, comments may be submitted to DFPC's Fire and Life Safety Chief, Chris Brunette. Chris.Brunette@state.co.us

About CDPS Rulemaking and Stakeholder Engagement
Virtually all state government agencies issue rules or regulations of some kind. Most rules and regulations exist at the direction of the state legislature in order to regulate certain business and personal activities. Rules and regulations exist because it's easier to update them, eliminate them, or alter them administratively than it is to pass new legislation as conditions change.
