10:07 AM -- SB 16-015
Representative Vigil, sponsor, described the provisions of Senate Bill 16-015 concerning rules for allowed marijuana pesticides. This bill requires the Governor to designate a state agency to promulgate rules that identify pesticides that may be used in the cultivation of retail marijuana. The designated agency is required to publish a list of pesticides that meet the criteria on its website. Committee discussion ensued regarding the bill.
The following person testified on the bill:
10:10 AM -- Mitch Yergert, Division of Plant Industry, Colorado Department of Agriculture, spoke in support of the bill. He explained that Senate Bill 13-283 required the Governor to designate one or more state agencies to compile a list of pesticides that cannot be used in the cultivation or processing of marijuana. Executive Order D2013-007 designates the Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA) to address pesticides for marijuana and encourages the department to consult with other state agencies including the Colorado Department of Revenue and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment as it compiles the list of banned substances.
The committee took a brief recess.
