COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—El Paso County officials say they need more time to study proposed changes to its medical marijuana rules.
The county’s new rules will take effect July 1, at the same time 73 pages of state regulations are implemented under the Colorado Medical Marijuana Code.
According to the Colorado Springs Gazette, commissioners are working on their own medical marijuana policy, which they adopted as temporary last August. They will discuss the new proposed rules on May 31.
Commissioners are trying to determine whether to issue licenses every year or every two years.
They also want to know why a requirement for 24-hour video camera surveillance of businesses is slated to be removed from the policy.
Assistant County Attorney Lori Seago says the county is trying to avoid duplicating the state’s mandates.
