Colorado lawmakers taking second crack at bill that would allow publicly traded marijuana companies
"One amendment, championed by committee chair Rep. Leslie Herod, D-Denver, is focused on addressing the lack of many female and minority owners in Colorado’s nowmore than billion-dollar-per-year cannabis industry."
"Dean Heizer, the executive director and chief legal strategist of LivWell Enlightened Health, said the bill would make it easier for LivWell to give its employees, including women and people of color, equity stakes in the business, helping them grow wealth along with the industry. LivWell is one of the largest cannabis businesses in the state with nearly 600employees, and Heizer said it has seen employees leave for other states like Massachusetts where the benefits are better."
