Representatives Becker, K. and Singer, co-primes sponsors, introduced House Bill 16-1079. The bill directs the Commissioner of Agriculture to promulgate rules, in consultation with DOR's Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED), for a program to enable consumers to identify retail and medical marijuana and industrial hemp cultivated and processed without the use of pesticides. The Colorado Department of Agriculture will certify third parties that can determine whether the marijuana or hemp that is cultivated or processed at a particular premises or land area is free of pesticides. In addition, this bill allows marijuana product labels to include a standardized notification that the marijuana has been certified as being pesticide-free.
