SB 18-187

Senate Bill 18-187, also known as the Marijuana Waste Recycling bill, allows the state licensing authority to create rules for medical and retail marijuana businesses. These rules will permit these businesses to give their leftover plant material (fibrous waste) to other people who can use it to make industrial products like paper or textiles. This means that marijuana companies won't have to dispose of their waste in a way that could harm the environment, and instead, they can recycle it for useful purposes. The bill has been signed into law, so these rules can now be established by the state authority.

Official Summary

The bill gives the state licensing authority rule-making authority to address conditions under which a medical or retail marijuana licensee is authorized to transfer marijuana fibrous waste to a person for the purpose of producing only industrial fiber products. (Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.) , Read More
