Senator Neville introduced Senate Bill 17-111, concerning measures to address medical marijuana inventory shortfalls. The bill increases the amount of total on-hand inventory of medical marijuana that a medical marijuana licensee can purchase from another medical marijuana center from 30 percent to 50 percent. The percentage a medical marijuana center can sell to another medical marijuana licensee is also increased to 50 percent of its on-hand inventory. The bill allows a medical marijuana licensee to transfer medical marijuana to another licensee without limitation if the licensees share a common owner. Senator Neville provided amendment L.002 (Attachment C) to the committee.
