HB21-1301 Work Groups

HB21-1301: Cannabis Outdoor Cultivation Measures created two separate Work Groups as part of the implementation of the legislation. 

The Tax & Cultivation Wholesale Work Group is cohosted by the Marijuana Enforcement Division and the Taxation Division with the goal of examining existing rules and tax laws that apply to the state’s wholesale marijuana cultivation market. 

Materials:

The work group is required to explore options on how the existing rules and tax laws could be amended to better position businesses in the state to be competitive if marijuana is legalized under federal law. 

Report: Requires submission of a report on or before June 1, 2022, informing of the work group’s findings and recommendations, which may include legislative recommendations. Here is the final report.

The Cross-Pollination Work Group is cohosted by the Marijuana Enforcement Division and the Colorado Department of Agriculture with the goal of studying and recommending options for minimizing cross-pollination. 

Materials: 

The study shall address the following:

  • How to minimize volunteer cannabis plants growing on areas of land that are not registered or licensed, regardless of its prior status as registered or licensed; 
  • How best to share data and the proximity between locations of outdoor hemp and marijuana cultivations, including information for each outdoor cultivation regarding:  (a) the potential for cross-pollination and (b) property size;
  • Best practices for preventing cross-pollination including: (a) An examination of the standards developed by agricultural organizations with expertise in industry-wide standards and practices; (b) Recommendations from subject-matter experts; and (c) If available, a review of practices developed by the hemp center of excellence; and
  • The feasibility of conducting and financing field studies to examine cross-pollination between outdoor cultivations and areas of land with volunteer cannabis plants.
