Commissioner Pace explained Amendment 2, which strikes language prohibiting the transfer of medical marijuana inventory to a retail operation. Commissioner Pace explained Amendment 5, which he said incorporates the Department of Public Health and the Environment's (CDPHE) preferred language regarding the CCIC. Ms. Anderle stated that Amendment 5 would need to be adopted to allow CDPHE to transfer caregiver information to the CCIC. Commissioner Pace explained Amendment #6, which makes the bill title more specific.


11:45 AM

Senator Aguilar introduced Amendment 9, as well as a redraft of Bill 1 with the amendment incorporated (Attachment L). She explained that Amendment 9 achieves the same thing as Amendment 2, removes the provisions concerning the criminal enforcement section within the Department of Law, requires the Colorado Medical Board to introduce guidelines for medical marijuana and non-malignant pain, requires the Department of Public Health to promulgate guidelines for primary caregivers surrounding contaminants and THC levels in marijuana that they cultivate, increases caregiver registration deadlines to 30 days from the date of licensing or of being notified of the duty to register, prohibits a person from being a caregiver again if they do not register, ensures that confidential patient information is not released by the state health agency, and strikes the section of Bill 1 that allows the provision of caregiver information to the CCIC. She responded to questions on the Colorado Medical Board creating guidelines for the use of medical marijuana for nonmalignant pain. The committee discussed the changes made by Amendment 9.
