Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.

Stricter penalties for violations and unlicensed activity

The Board lists clear reasons it can discipline licensees and registrants. Knowing violations, gross negligence, crimes, or actions that threaten health or safety can trigger discipline. The Board also investigates unlicensed cannabis activity. It can order cease-and-desist, issue citations, and impose administrative fines or civil penalties. Some cases must be sent to state or local law enforcement.

Compliance help for cannabis licensees

The Board sets up education and advice for licensees and registrants. You can use this help to fix issues instead of facing discipline. This system helps businesses follow the rules and avoid penalties.

Board inspectors must complete training

The Board must train and certify its employees before they do inspections, audits, or investigations. Training is at least the same or very similar to what cannabis establishment agents must complete. Staff may not conduct inspections until they finish this training.

New testing rules for cannabis businesses

The Board requires every lot to be sampled and tested by an independent lab. Sample collection follows ASTM D8334/8334M. For cannabis flower: under 5 pounds, send at least 10 grams; 5 to under 10 pounds, at least 15 grams; 10 to 15 pounds, at least 20 grams. The law defines harvest batches and lots to standardize sampling.

Cannabis industry demographic reporting every two years

The Board collects race, ethnicity, age, and gender for each owner and manager and each registered agent. The Board keeps this data and reports it to the Legislative Counsel Bureau. The Bureau sends the report to the Legislature by January 1 of each odd-numbered year.
