This ruling supports the Colorado Association of Nurse Anesthetists, Colorado Nurses Association, Colorado Hospital Association and former Gov. Bill Ritter, who opted out of the requirement in Sept. 2010. The decision dismisses the lawsuit filed in Sept. 2010 by the Colorado Society of Anesthesiologists and the Colorado Medical Society.
