                           Bill Summary
       
            (Note:  This summary applies to this bill as introduced and does
       not reflect any amendments that may be subsequently adopted. If this bill
       passes third reading in the house of introduction, a bill summary that
       applies to the reengrossed version of this bill will be available at

            The bill requires the department of revenue to promulgate rules
       regarding a requirement that a licensed medical marijuana center display
       in a conspicuous location a sign that warns pregnant women about the
       dangers to fetuses caused by smoking or ingesting marijuana while
       pregnant. The rules shall include the specific language regarding the
       warning that must be included on the sign. The bill prohibits a medical
       marijuana center agent or employee from recommending medical
       marijuana to a pregnant woman.
       
       
       
       Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
            SECTION 1.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, 12-43.3-202, add (4)

       location a sign that warns pregnant women about the dangers
       to fetuses caused by smoking or ingesting marijuana while
       pregnant. The rules shall include the specific language
       regarding the warning that must be included on the sign.
            (b)  The cost of the sign and display of the sign required by
       the rule described in paragraph (a) of this subsection (4) shall be
       borne by the medical marijuana center.
            (c)  A medical marijuana center agent or employee shall
       not recommend medical marijuana to a pregnant woman.
            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.
