Summary

(1) Existing law, the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA) , an initiative statute approved by the voters at the November 8, 2016, statewide general election as Proposition 64, among other things, establishes the California Marijuana Tax Fund as a continuously appropriated fund consisting of specified taxes, interest, penalties, and other amounts imposed by AUMA. AUMA requires, after other specified disbursements are made from the fund, the Controller to disburse funds to the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development, also known as GO-Biz. AUMA requires GO-Biz, in consultation with other specified state entities, to administer grants to local health departments and qualified community-based nonprofit organizations to support job placement, mental health treatment, substance use disorder treatment, system navigation services, legal services, and linkages to medical care, as specified. This bill would amend AUMA by requiring GO-Biz to give preference to applicants for grants to provide support system navigation services, as described in AUMA, that meet specific minimum performance standards, including, among other standards, capability of providing service 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and 365 days per year. This bill would also establish the Community Reinvestments Grants Program Fund, as a continuously appropriated fund, thereby making an appropriation, and require certain funds distributed to GO-Biz pursuant to AUMA to be deposited into that fund. (2) AUMA authorizes legislative amendment of its provisions with<caml:Numerator>2</caml:Numerator><caml:Denominator>3</caml:Denominator></caml:Fraction>"?> a 23 vote of both houses of the Legislature, without submission to the voters, to further its purposes and intent. This bill would declare that its provisions further specified purposes and intent of the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act.
