New Pueblo Location For
Workers’ Compensation Hearings
Effective
October 2, 2008, OAC will change the location
for workers’ compensation hearings in
Pueblo. We have obtained use of a
courtroom in the Colorado Mental Health
Institute at Pueblo. The location is at
1600 W. 24th Street, Building 125, (the
Administration Building). A large
parking lot is available south of 24th Street
for use by all hearing participants.
Handicapped parking spaces are available close
to the building for those with proper permits.
The
CMHIP web site provides driving directions:
http://www.cdhs.state.co.us/cmhip/directions.htm
All
parties, attorneys, and witnesses will need to
check in with the Communications Desk just
inside the front doors to Building 125 shortly
before the start times for the hearings.
The ALJ or CMHIP personnel will direct
participants to the courtroom. The
courtroom has an FTR recorder and multiple
microphones.
Please
check your hearing notices for hearings on and
after October 2, 2008, to make sure that the
location is the new CMHIP location.
Please contact the Southern Regional Office
for OAC at (719) 576-2958 if there are any
discrepancies.

SENATE
BILL 07-258, Section 7, P. 259, L. 1
(Typographical Error) Statutory authority
to petition to review an order of an
administrative law judge is found at
§8-43-301. Section 7 of SB-258, P. 258, L. 1
& P. 259, L. 27, provides: "The
request shall be a prerequisite to review
under Section 8-43-201." OAC believes
that the reference to subsection 201 is a
typographical error and that the General
Assembly intended to reference subsection 301.
