Modernizes Colorado's marijuana regulation by shifting oversight to the Department of Public Health and Environment and changing tax rates.

The bill modernizes Colorado's marijuana regulation by shifting oversight from the Department of Revenue to the Department of Public Health and Environment. It requires intoxicating cannabis producers to be registered with the Department of Public Health and Environment and mandates testing at the point of sale. The bill also changes the marijuana excise tax to a flat rate of $1 per pound of unprocessed marijuana and adjusts the sales tax to be based on the amount of intoxicating cannabinoids in the product.
