CO SCR003

Submits a constitutional amendment to Colorado voters at the November 6, 2018 election to change the industrial hemp definition from a fixed constitutional definition to a flexible statutory definition.

Removes the specific constitutional requirement that industrial hemp contain no more than three-tenths percent delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on a dry weight basis.

Allows industrial hemp to be defined instead by federal law or Colorado statute, providing flexibility for future regulatory adjustments.

Requires at least 55 percent of electors voting on the ballot measure to approve the amendment for it to become part of the state constitution.

Ballot title asks voters: "Shall there be an amendment to the Colorado constitution concerning changing the industrial hemp definition from a constitutional definition to a statutory definition?"
