The Electrical Board convened for an emergency session. The primary discussion item concerned Policy 3.3, specifically regarding the variance policy related to electric vehicle power infrastructure requirements for multifamily buildings in the Model Electric Ready and Solar Ready Code. Following discussion, the matter was referred to executive session for legal guidance. A vote on Proposed Policy 3.3 is scheduled for the January 28, 2026 Board meeting.

The Inquiry Panel A of the Colorado Dental Board convened to address several administrative and licensing matters. Administrative items included noting the Program Director's report. Licensing actions involved ratifying general licensing actions, denying one licensure application, tabling several applications pending additional information, and referring multiple cases to Executive Session for discussion regarding potential disciplinary action or confidential matters. Following executive sessions, some referred cases resulted in licensure denials or approvals with guidance.

The meeting included open and closed sessions covering several agenda items. Key activities involved rulemaking review, a show cause hearing resulting in a Cease and Desist Order, and administrative reports including updates on per diem, recruitment, and cybersecurity. Policy considerations led to tabling Policy 3.3 regarding EV Power Infrastructure Requirements, and adopting Policy 2.4.9 concerning fine payment plans and Policy 2.9.1 regarding delegation of authority for application approval. The Board also addressed multiple investigative reports, resulting in various actions such as issuing Cease and Desist Orders, dismissing cases, referring cases for disciplinary settlement, and approving an application. Several licensing applications were reviewed with outcomes including approvals, denials, and tabling pending further information. Multiple general complaints were reviewed, leading to dismissals, referrals for disciplinary settlement, or issuance of a Letter of Admonition following executive session. Matters discussed in executive session also included proposed settlements for specific cases.

The meeting included several administrative and discussion items, such as the Program Director Report and the Board Chair Report, which included a report on the NAB Mid-Year Meeting. In Old Business, the Board ratified the monitoring status report. Under Licensing, the Board ratified licensure applications and temporary permits for emergency situations, and ratified a monitoring report related to AIT applications, which also resulted in a motion to open a case against a licensee. Several AIT and new applications were reviewed, resulting in approvals for an AIT Program application, its program plan, and preceptor, as well as approval for a new application. New Business focused on CDPHE cases (CDPHE stands for Colorado Department of Health & Environment, implied context), resulting in directives to send a 30-day letter for one case and dismissals for several others due to being without merit. The session concluded with an Executive Session to address attestation of board matter confidentiality.
