County Term Limits

The following is a listing of counties that have successfully repealed or extended term limits, the offices that were affected, and the year in which the term limit was repealed.

Medical Inmate Exclusion Policy
Updates on CCI’s Efforts to Amend the Medicaid Inmate Exclusion Policy
The Medicaid Inmate Exclusion Policy (MIEP) is a federal policy in the Social Security Act that denies or revokes federal health benefits for adults and juveniles prior to adjudication while they await trial in county jail.
CCI has long partnered with the National Association of Counties to amend this policy. Most recently by sending this letter in support of two pieces of bipartisan legislation (the Due Process Continuity of Care Act & Reentry Act) to our Colorado Congressional Delegation.
In addition, CCI has sent a letter to Congresswoman DeGette who serves on the Energy & Commerce Committee, encouraging her support of these bills and their inclusion in a larger legislative package to reauthorize the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act.
CCI would encourage counties to also contact their delegation members in support of these policies as well.
