After nearly two weeks of work, a legislative committee focused on recreational marijuana implementation forwarded a single bill Wednesday to the Senate, up against the looming end of the session.

Much of the committee s work revolved around amending the bill, following public comment that included a presentation by Colorado law enforcement and extensive assistance from legislative staff. It s carried by Rep. Mike Hopkins, R-Missoula.
