      Concerning authorizing sharing information between state and
           local government agencies related to legal marijuana.
       
      
      Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
      
           SECTION 1.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, 12-43.4-306, amend
      (2) (c) as follows:
      
           12-43.4-306.  Persons prohibited as licensees - definitions.
      (2) (c)  At the time of filing an application for issuance of a state retail
      marijuana establishment license, an applicant shall submit a set of his or her
      fingerprints and file personal history information concerning the applicant's
      qualifications for a state license on forms prepared by the state licensing
      authority. The state licensing authority or local jurisdiction shall submit
      the fingerprints and the local jurisdiction may forward fingerprints to the
      Colorado bureau of investigation for the purpose of conducting
      fingerprint-based criminal history record checks. The Colorado bureau of
      investigation shall forward the fingerprints to the federal bureau of
      investigation for the purpose of conducting fingerprint-based criminal
      history record checks. The state licensing authority or local jurisdiction
      may acquire a name-based criminal history record check for an applicant or
      a license holder who has twice submitted to a fingerprint-based criminal
      history record check and whose fingerprints are unclassifiable. An applicant
      who has previously submitted fingerprints for state or local licensing
      purposes may request that the fingerprints on file be used. The state
      licensing authority or local jurisdiction shall use the information
      resulting from the fingerprint-based criminal history record check to
      investigate and determine whether an applicant is qualified to hold a state
      or local license pursuant to this article. The state licensing authority
      or local licensing authority jurisdiction may verify any of the information
      an applicant is required to submit.
      
           SECTION 2.  Safety clause. The general assembly hereby finds,
      determines, and declares that this act is necessary for the immediate
      preservation of the public peace, health, and safety.
