Bill	Marijuana Responsible Vendor Designations	Under current law, a licensed medical or retail marijuana business may receive a responsible vendor designation (designation) if all of its employees successfully complete an approved course. If the business is subject to a licensing action, the designation can be considered a mitigating factor in the licensing action. The act allows an individual to receive a designation and provides the same licensing mitigation protection to that individual in a licensing action. The act clarifies how a business receives and maintains a designation and allows a person with a designation to take that designation with them to a new employer.	us/states/co	Colorado General Assembly	2022A	HB 22-1222	Colorado HB 22-1222 (2022A)	bill		enacted	Chris Holbert Kerry Tipper Robert Rodriguez	9	12	2	2022-02-10T07:00:00+00:00	2022-04-21T06:00:00+00:00	openstates	ocd-bill/4a82caab-31ae-4961-8acb-ab68fc0b9295	https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb22-1222	6e34a46e3c336006d88ad27c078f46b47f13efcb9605f9e04ca431e1bf078b14	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-co
