Two bills aimed at tightening retail marijuana laws have passed the House with unanimous support.
Rep. Daniel Kagan, D-Cherry Hills Village, is sponsoring the pieces of legislation which he believes makes the state’s marijuana code easier to enforce and regulates it the same as alcohol.
House Bill 1129 would give local jurisdictions the ability to submit fingerprints of those applying for retail marijuana establishment licenses to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation for criminal history inquires.
House Bill 1122 increases the penalty of selling marijuana to a minor a class 1 misdemeanor and it allows a retail establishment to seize a fake ID and alert law enforcement.
Both bills cleared the House last week with unanimous support.
