Supreme Court of Colorado

Medical Board v. McLaughlin—

November 12, 20192019 CO 93

Summary

The court held that the Board’s investigative subpoena served a lawfully authorized purpose. The referral policy did not violate the Open Meetings Law or the Administrative Procedure Act, and, even assuming it did, the Board independently had statutory authority to investigate alleged physician misconduct and issue a properly tailored subpoena. The court reversed the court of appeals and remanded for further proceedings.
