Bill	Medical Marijuana Condition Autism	Medical marijuana - disabling medical conditions - autism spectrum disorders. The act adds autism spectrum disorders to the list of disabling medical conditions that authorize a person to use medical marijuana for his or her condition. Under current law, a child under 18 years of age who wants to be added to the medical marijuana registry for a disabling medical condition must be diagnosed as having a disabling medical condition by 2 physicians, one of whom must be a board-certified pediatrician, a board-certified family physician, or a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist who attests that he or she is part of the patient's primary care provider team. The act removes the additional requirements on specific physicians to align with the constitutional provisions for a debilitating medical condition. The act states if the recommending physician is not the patient's primary care physician, the recommending physician shall review the records of a diagnosing physician or a licensed mental health provider acting within its scope of practice.	us/states/co	Colorado General Assembly	2019A	HB 19-1028	Colorado HB 19-1028 (2019A)	bill		enacted	Don Coram Edie Hooton Kim Ransom Stephen Fenberg	9	19	3	2019-01-04T07:00:00+00:00	2019-04-02T06:00:00+00:00	openstates	ocd-bill/61c36557-3764-463e-b97e-4d6d2f8c284a	http://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb19-1028	b40e4f160fd963452971d7cbeb1eeb672b4470081aa16e13182364fb0a191abb	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-co
