Doe v. Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment

Summary

The court affirmed the court of appeals’ judgment rejecting the doctors’ challenges to the Department’s medical-marijuana referral policy and referrals. It held that the Department as a whole was not a state public body under the Open Meetings Law, that the policy was an interpretive rule exempt from the Administrative Procedure Act’s rulemaking requirements, and that the referrals were not final agency actions subject to judicial review.
