Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.
Cannabis event businesses face fees and reporting
The Cannabis Control Board can set reasonable permit fees based on permit type, event size, duration, or other reasonable factors. Permit holders and listed licensees must meet reporting duties, including sales reports, and other regulatory requirements. Violations can bring applicable fees, fines, and penalties; the law states no amounts. The Board must issue program rules and has immediate authority to prepare them. Overlapping start-date clauses reference both 120 days after enactment and the related 2024 law’s effective date for showcase rules.
Cannabis retailers get pop-ups with partnership limits
New York allows licensed adult-use cannabis retailers to hold approved sales events away from their stores. Locations include stand-alone pop-ups, farmers’ markets, public markets, and similar places approved by the Office of Cannabis Management. Each retailer must name at least one licensed New York cultivator and one licensed New York processor as partners. This applies to each retailer at shared events, with no more than one processor per cultivator on each permit. Each retailer needs a separate permit for each event, valid for no more than 14 days. One permit cannot cover simultaneous events, but a licensee can join multiple events with separate permits.
Cannabis showcases allow displays but restrict sellers
Permit holders and authorized partners can display adult-use cannabis, cannabis products, branded merchandise, and educational materials at showcases. Retail permit holders must offer cannabis and products grown or processed by partners listed on their permits. They can also sell products from other licensees. Only retail permit holders can make cannabis sales at the event; other participants cannot sell directly.
