Rules team reports progress on cannabis rulemaking and alcohol product-placement rules
Summary
Kevin Walder said the rules team has 10 open rule projects, is reviewing public comment on SB 5403 and expects an economic analysis before filing a CR102 by year-end; staff also flagged work on producer cooperatives, R&D testing, batch tracking and alcohol product-placement rules.
Kevin Walder of the policy and rules team told the caucus the team currently has 10 open rule projects spanning cannabis and alcohol regulation. He said the public comment period recently closed for draft rules implementing Senate Bill 5403 (limiting certain financial interest agreements for cannabis retailers) and that staff are evaluating feedback before an economic analysis that could take about three months.
Walder also summarized separate rulemaking tracks: stakeholder sessions and proposed revisions on producer cooperatives under HB1941, plans to resume drafting on cannabis R&D testing and samples this fall, potential work on batch tracking and transportation, and ongoing preparations on retail alcohol product-placement rules and related CR documents for next month’s board meeting. He said competing priorities and the upcoming legislative session make timelines uncertain but staff expect a CR102 filing on some items by year-end.
