Board of Health Postpones Dec. 16 Rulemaking
Concerning the
Medical Marijuana Registry Program
DENVER – At its meeting on Nov. 18, the state Board of
Health voted to postpone its rulemaking hearing scheduled for Dec. 16
concerning the proposed repeal of the definition of “significant
responsibility for managing the well-being of a patient” (Regulation 2
A(iii), 5 CCR 1006-2).
The postponement comes following a Nov. 10
decision by Denver District Court Judge Larry Naves that voided
the Board of Health’s Nov. 3 emergency rulemaking. That
rulemaking had eliminated language about the regulatory
definition of “significant responsibility” as that term relates
to primary caregivers for medical marijuana patients.
As stewards of Colorado’s public health, the
board recognizes and considers the needs and health of all
Colorado citizens in its actions and will continue to seek
appropriate input in its public proceedings.
The board will explore its legal options before
determining how to proceed. Please continue to check the Board
of Health’s Web site,

information about rescheduling of the hearing.
