Colorado Leads released the following statement in response to SB24-076 sponsors’ announcement that they are indefinitely postponing the bill:

We are pleased to see SB25-076 has been postponed indefinitely, and we are grateful to the many policymakers, business leaders, and community members who spoke out against its extreme provisions. While well-intentioned, the bill threatened to undermine Colorado’s regulated cannabis industry and the critical role it plays in protecting public safety and supporting our state’s economy.

Colorado Leads and the cannabis business community are committed to working alongside lawmakers, regulators, and stakeholders, including the proponents of SB25-076, to develop evidence-based policies that protect consumers and youth, support businesses, and advance a sustainable and responsible cannabis market.
