03:48 PM -- SB16-040
Senator Holbert introduced Senate Bill 16-040, concerning marijuana owner changes. The bill modifies the ownership requirements for medical and retail marijuana licenses to allow U.S. citizens who are not Colorado residents to be licensed as owners but requires that a controlling interest of the licensees be Colorado residents. The bill allows for employee profit sharing and payment of commercially reasonable royalties for the use by a licensee of intellectual property without creating an ownership interest. The Marijuana Enforcement Division in the Department of Revenue is authorized to promulgate rules for the parameters of what constitutes a commercially reasonable royalty. Finally, the bill prohibits a publicly traded company from licensure under the Medical and Retail Marijuana Codes. The bill applies to applications made on or after January 1, 2017. Senator Holbert provided amendments L.001, L.002, L.003, L.005, and L.006 (Attachments, E, F, G, H, and I).
