Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:

Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.

 

  HB21-1085, enacted by the state in 2021, requires that all counties adopt a licensing program for Secure Transport Services. Secure Transport Services (STS) are private agencies that provide urgent (but not emergency) transportation to a behavioral health facility for individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis. The requested ordinance establishes a local licensing program and adopts the minimum regulations required by the Colorado Board of Health for STS. The proposed license includes minor enhancements to the state minimum requirements, such as background checks for drivers, to address local public safety concerns, as well as standard provisions for other licenses administered by Excise and Licenses.
