Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 4 mixed.

Building trades considered in larger cannabis applications

When reviewing a cannabis license application from an entity with 25 or more employees, the Office of Cannabis Management must consider whether it has an agreement with a statewide or local building and construction trades group. The agreement must cover construction work on the applicant’s licensed facilities. Applicants do not have to sign an agreement under this rule.

Cannabis applicants disclose pay and ownership

Cannabis license and renewal applicants must disclose the licensee’s full ownership structure and details about management service agreements, including the service providers’ ownership. They must also provide pay ranges by job title and average scheduled or offered hours for each job. The state posts the pay and hours information online. Applicants take on added reporting duties, while workers and the public gain access to this information.

Cannabis licenses no longer require labor peace agreements

Cannabis businesses no longer need labor peace agreements to get or renew a license. Ending or violating an agreement is no longer a specified reason to deny renewal or automatically suspend or end a registration. New York labor law violations still count in licensee reviews. The law also protects existing collective bargaining agreements from being invalidated or infringed because of a market-share reduction after a board review.

Cannabis workers get wage review

New York creates a three-member board to recommend minimum hourly wages for cannabis workers in four sectors: cultivation; processing and packaging; distribution; and retail and delivery. The board must hold at least three public hearings, with its first by March 1, 2027, and report by December 31, 2027. It may recommend future raises, more job categories, or one industry-wide minimum wage, but it may also find current wages adequate. Recommendations cannot reduce workers’ existing rights or benefits, and the law does not set a wage amount.
