The bill requires the institute of cannabis research at Colorado state university - Pueblo (institute)
to develop marijuana tracking technology (technology).
The technology must include an agent that is applied to a marijuana plant, marijuana product,
industrial hemp, or industrial hemp product and then scanned by a device.
The scan, at a minimum, would indicate whether the marijuana or hemp was cultivated,
manufactured, or sold by a licensed marijuana business or registered hemp cultivator.
The institute shall select a vendor to develop the technology. After the technology is developed,
the state licensing authority must be satisfied that the technology provides
an effective means of tracking marijuana. After the state licensing authority determines the technology is an
effective means of tracking marijuana, it shall promulgate rules that require the technology
to be used by licensed marijuana businesses, and the commissioner of the department of agriculture shall
rules that require registered industrial hemp cultivators to use the technology.
The technology that scans the marijuana must be made available
to law enforcement and the department of revenue.
The bill clarifies that the gray and black market marijuana enforcement grant program
could award grants to law enforcement agencies to purchase the marijuana scanning technology.
