Community input informs regulation amendments

We will be requesting a rule-making hearing at the Board of Health meeting on July 16.  If the request is approved, we will be proposing rules to fulfill new statutory requirements due to Senate Bill 14-155. In addition, we will recommend updates to reflect current terminology, align with Department of Revenue regulations where appropriate, and clarify Registry processes.

The proposed rules add a new regulation for the development and governance of the new Research Grant Program and the Medical Marijuana Scientific Advisory Council and propose amendments to proof of residency, medical marijuana center reporting, and caregiver limit waiver regulations.

We welcome community feedback on all of the proposed changes.  Please take a few minutes to complete our stakeholder survey.  Comments will also be accepted on this blog through July 31, 2014.
