HB 19-1234 Summary

• Authorizes delivery permits for both medical and retail marijuana licensed businesses, allowing delivery of products to qualified patients and consumers at private residences.

• Establishes requirements for delivery operations including personnel training, age verification procedures, vehicle standards with surveillance capability, inventory tracking, security measures, and delivery hour restrictions.

• Mandates a $1 surcharge per delivery that licensed businesses must remit monthly to municipalities or counties for local marijuana enforcement costs.

• Requires local jurisdictions to approve delivery permits in addition to state approval; municipalities and counties can restrict or prohibit delivery or limit it to in-jurisdiction retailers through ordinance or voter approval.

• Appropriates $390,152 to the Department of Revenue (primarily for 3.6 FTE positions), with smaller amounts to the Department of Law and Department of Personnel for implementation and enforcement of the new delivery program.
