Medical and retail marijuana delivery rules no longer have to include recordkeeping requirements or vehicle surveillance. Colorado can still require delivery vehicle cameras by rule. Rules for mobile marijuana hospitality businesses no longer have to require cameras inside their vehicles. - Fewer medical marijuana license renewal hearings: benefit, low. Local authorities can hold medical marijuana business renewal hearings only when complaints, past violations, or allegations provide grounds. Allegations must amount to good cause. This limits renewal hearings for businesses without those issues. - Marijuana businesses face fewer camera mandates: benefit, low. Required camera coverage is capped at listed areas, including entrances, exits, sales points, shipping, receiving, test collection, and waste destruction. Requests for recording copies must be written, with at least 72 hours for businesses to respond. Cultivation facilities moving between two appro… - Narrower unlawful acts for marijuana owners: benefit, low. Merely holding an undisclosed controlling, passive, or indirect financial interest in a marijuana license is no longer prohibited by this rule. Using license privileges tied to an undisclosed interest remains unlawful. The law also repeals one unlawful-act provision covering ownership transfers wit… - Simpler waste rules for marijuana businesses: benefit, low. Colorado cannot require businesses to change fibrous marijuana waste from its natural state before transfer for industrial fiber products. Those transfer rules no longer need recordkeeping requirements, but contract, secure transport, contaminated-waste handling, and processing requirements remain.… - Fees for marijuana application copy requests: cost, low. Colorado must set processing fees that include requests for copies of an applicant's own marijuana license application. Applicants requesting those copies may be charged the state-set fee. The law does not state the amount. - Colorado cuts marijuana oversight operating funds: cost, low. For fiscal year 2025–26, the law cuts Marijuana Cash Fund support for enforcement operations by $25,883. It also cuts identification-unit funding by $156,447 for staff and $95,887 for operations, reducing staffing by 1.5 full-time equivalents. Reductions do not apply when the relevant appropriation… - Marijuana workers get earlier work access: mixed, low. Managers and employees who are not controlling owners can work, handle marijuana, or transport it before their applications are decided. Initial business licensing requires fingerprint checks for controlling and passive owners; employees and renewing licensees face name-based court checks. Employee… - Marijuana businesses get recordkeeping limits: mixed, low. Colorado's marijuana recordkeeping rules cannot go beyond listed topics, such as testing, recalls, health reports, transfers, patients, and advertising. Records integrate with the state's seed-to-sale tracking system. Businesses need not keep duplicate copies of records required in that system. Aft… - Marijuana makers gain conditional workspace sharing: mixed, low. Medical and retail marijuana product makers can use shared workspaces or equipment only when Colorado allows it by rule. Otherwise, licensed-premises and exclusive manufacturing-use requirements remain. Colorado can also require approved premises and equipment for noninfused products used to develo… - Marijuana workers gain regulated research samples: mixed, low. Colorado must set rules for research units that licensed growers and product makers provide to their licensed workers. Units support product development and quality checks; medical recipients need a valid patient registry card. Adding flavors or nonmarijuana ingredients to noninfused products creat… ## Sponsors and cosponsors - Sponsor: Jenny Willford (Democratic), House - Sponsor: Julie Gonzales (Democratic), Senate - Sponsor: Robert Rodriguez (Democratic), Senate - Sponsor: William Lindstedt (Democratic), Senate - Cosponsor: Alex Valdez (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Chad Clifford (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Emily Sirota (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Jennifer Bacon (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Junie Joseph (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Javier Mabrey (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Julie McCluskie (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Jacque Phillips (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Lisa Feret (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Lorena Garcia (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Michael Carter (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Mandy Lindsay (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Regina English (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Ryan Gonzalez (Republican), House - Cosponsor: Rep.
