The act continues the functions of the Colorado podiatry board (board) for 9 years until September 1, 2035, pursuant to provisions of the sunset law.
     The act requires a licensed podiatrist (licensee) to develop a written plan to ensure the security of patient medical records, including the proper storage and disposal of records, the disposition of medical records in the event the licensee dies, retires, or otherwise ceases to practice, and the method by which a patient may access or obtain records if such events occur. A licensee shall attest to compliance with the requirement upon initial licensure and upon renewal of the license. A licensee who fails to comply with the requirements of the act is subject to discipline by the board.
