Editor's note:    This section is similar to former § 25-18.7-104 as it existed prior to 2013.    Section 11 of chapter 315 (SB 14-184), Session Laws of Colorado 2014, provides that subsection (3)(c) takes effect only if SB 14-215 does not become law and that subsection (3)(d) takes effect only if SB 14-215 becomes law. SB 14-215 became law and took effect July 1, 2014. Therefore, the original subsection (3)(c), as enacted in SB 14-184, did not take effect and subsection (3)(d) was relettered as (3)(c) to conform to statutory format.

  Nothing in this article 61 limits or precludes the exportation of industrial hemp in accordance with the federal “Controlled Substances Act”, as amended, 21 U.S.C. sec. 801 et seq., federal regulations adopted under the act, and case law interpreting the act.    The conduct authorized under this section is intended to be consistent with federal law.    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a person engaged in processing, manufacturing, selling, transporting, possessing, or otherwise distributing industrial hemp cultivated by a person registered under this article 61, or selling industrial hemp products produced from it, is not subject to any civil or criminal actions under Colorado law for engaging in such activities. The department may promulgate rules to require approved shipping documentation for the transportation of hemp.      Because the unprocessed seeds of industrial hemp are included in the definition of “commodity” pursuant to section 35-36-102 (7) of the “Commodity Handler and Farm Products Act”, article 36 of this title 35, a person acting as a commodity handler, as that term is defined in section 35-36-102 (8), with respect to the unprocessed seeds of industrial hemp, shall comply with the licensing requirements set forth in part 2 of article 36 of this title 35 and any rules promulgated pursuant to article 36 of this title 35.    Because industrial hemp is included in the definition of “farm products” pursuant to section (14) of the “Commodity Handler and Farm Products Act”, article 36 of this title 35, a person acting as a dealer, small-volume dealer, or agent, as those terms are defined in section 35-36-102, with respect to industrial hemp, shall comply with the licensing requirements set forth in part 3 of article 36 of this title 35 and any rules promulgated pursuant to article 36 of this title 35.

     Any person who violates any provision of this article 61 or any rule adopted pursuant to this article 61 is subject to a civil penalty, as determined by the commissioner.    Before imposing any civil penalty, the commissioner shall consider the severity of the violation, the amount of harm caused by such a violation, the presence or absence of a pattern of similar violations by the registrant, the effect of the proposed penalty on the ability of the registrant to continue to conduct business, and any other factors deemed to be relevant.

  The commissioner, upon his or her own motion or upon the complaint of any person, may make any investigations necessary to ensure compliance with this article 61.    Complaints of record and the results of the investigations may, in the discretion of the commissioner, be closed to public inspection, except to the person in interest, as defined in section 24-72-202 (4).    At any reasonable time during regular business hours, the commissioner must be provided free and unimpeded access upon consent or upon obtaining an administrative search warrant to:   Those portions of all buildings, fields, and other areas in which any industrial hemp lots are handled for the purpose of carrying out any provision of this article 61 or any rule promulgated pursuant to this article 61; and    All records required to be kept, and the commissioner may make copies of such records for the purpose of carrying out any provision of this article 61 or any rule promulgated pursuant to this article 61.         Whenever the commissioner has reasonable cause to believe a violation of any provision of this article 61 or any rule made pursuant to this article 61 has occurred and immediate enforcement is deemed necessary, the commissioner may issue a cease-and-desist order, which may require any person to cease violating any provision of this article 61 or any rule made pursuant to this article 61. The cease-and-desist order must set forth the provision alleged to have been violated, the facts alleged to have constituted the violation, and the requirement that the actions be ceased forthwith.    If any person fails to comply with a cease-and-desist order within twenty-four hours after receipt of the order, the commissioner may bring a suit for a temporary restraining order or injunctive relief to prevent any further or continued violation of such order.       The commissioner has full authority to administer oaths and take statements; to issue administrative subpoenas requiring the attendance of witnesses before the commissioner and for the production of all books, memoranda, papers and other documents, articles, or instruments; and to compel the disclosure by such witnesses of all facts known to them relative to the matters under investigation. Upon the failure or refusal of any witness to obey an administrative subpoena, the commissioner may petition the district court, and, upon a proper showing, the court may enter an order compelling the witness to appear and testify or produce documentary evidence. Failure to obey such an order of the court is punishable as contempt of court.      History. Source: L. 2020: Entire section added, (SB 20-197), ch. 194, p. 908, § 10, effective September 14.

 The general assembly finds and declares that the state of Colorado, through wind and water erosion and depletion of subsurface water resources, has lost for agricultural and livestock uses approximately six million acres, or one-tenth of the total area of the state; that these losses range from severe damage to complete destruction of the topsoils of these areas; that these losses have been caused by improper farm and range practices, by increasing the rate of withdrawal from underground water reserves without adequate attention to recharging such reserves, and by failure to conserve to the full the precious rainfall and snowpacks that could help replenish underground water reserves, and that the areas of land thus destroyed will increase until and unless a constructive method of land use providing for the conservation and preservation of natural resources, including adequate underground water reserves, the control of wind and water erosion, and the reduction of damage resulting from floods, is established by law over the entire state. It is to accomplish this purpose and to insure the health, prosperity, and welfare of the state of Colorado and its people that this article is created, and it shall be construed liberally in order that the purposes expressed in this article may be accomplished.
