12-43.3-501(3)(d), 12-43.4-202(3)(a)(XIV.5), 12-43.4-202(3)(b)(V), 12-43.4-202(3)(b)(VII), C.R.S. |
| Description of Subjects/Issues |
Pursuant to 12-43.3-501(3)(d), C.R.S. the state licensing authority is reviewing fees and proposing new fee amounts. Also, rule R 231.5 is being amended to clarify criminal history record check requirements in accordance with 12-43.4-202(3)(a)(XIV.5), C.R.S. |
| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
The purpose of these rules is to update fee amounts. Colorado Revised Statute 12-43.43-501(3)(d) requires the State Licensing Authority (SLA) of the Marijuana Enforcement Division to review fees at least annually. The same statute also allows the (SLA) to adjust fee amounts to reflect the direct and indirect costs of the program. Accordingly, these adopted rules contain adjusted fees, which will become effective on July 1, 2016.
The purpose of the amendment to rule R 231.5 is to address the concern raised by the Office of Legislative Legal Services regarding the SLA’s authority to require criminal history record checks for a Permitted Economic Interest (PEI) applicant. The rule has been clarified to indicate that each initial application submitted by a PEI applicant must include a fingerprint-based criminal history record check. |
