• Kris L. Christine Posted : 6/19/2010 8:44:20 AM CORRECTION:  It has just been brought to our attention that a Colorado medical exemption was actually passed in 2008 and became effective on July 1, 2008.   On January 19, 2010 substantial revisions were made to the rules and regulations, which became effective March 2, 2010 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• willowchow Posted : 6/19/2010 8:50:56 AM Is it something they can do right in the office and then the client has it in hand.  RI's is very difficult to obtain.  You have to submit in writing to the rabies board which meets very rarely and then wait for an answer.  It's a step forward but I was pretty disappointed with the situation here.  Hope these states are doing much better and RI can eventually follow them.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
