MED Annual Rulemaking
The Colorado Department of Revenue’s Marijuana Enforcement Division (Division) is initiating its 2024 annual rulemaking process to implement Senate Bill 24-076, review and update existing rules, and propose new rules as necessary.
SB 24-076 is anticipated to become effective on August 7, 2024, following the expiration of the petition clause’s 90-day period. Therefore, the Division intends to adopt emergency rules for initial SB 24-076 implementation and will continue to develop new and revised rules through the permanent rulemaking process. For additional information on legislation the Division is responsible for implementing, please see the Division’s 2024 Marijuana Legislation Summary.
The Division is preparing initial draft rules for review and input at the stakeholder meetings listed below. All agendas, draft rules, and any other materials will be posted on the Division's website at least five (5) days prior to the meeting. Additionally, links for each meeting will be posted in advance on the Division's Rulemaking webpage. For questions about the Division's rulemaking process, you may contact Dyann Smart at dyann.smart@state.co.us.
