On Friday, May 8, 2015, Governor John Hickenlooper signed SB15-239 transferring the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) to the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) no later than July 1, 2016. Several stakeholder outreach sessions were held in around that state. More than 200 DVR stakeholders including clients, vendors, staff and advocates attended a total of 10 in-person meetings across Colorado. Additionally, an electronic (and fully accessible) feedback form was created and deployed to capture feedback from stakeholders who were unable to attend an in-person meeting.
