Summary

Existing law, the Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA) , which includes the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act of 2016 (AUMA) enacted by the voters at the November 8, 2016, statewide general election, aims to take nonmedicinal cannabis production and sales out of the hands of the illegal market by regulating the cultivation, distribution, and use of cannabis for nonmedicinal purposes by individuals 21 years of age and older. This bill would create the California Illegal Cannabis Task Force, which would, among other things, analyze existing statutes to determine if they adequately address illegal cannabis cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, sales, and diversion of cannabis to other states, and recommend necessary revisions or new provisions. The bill would specify the membership of the task force, and would require members to be selected and to meet no later than March 1, 2019. The bill would require the task force to conduct a study, as specified, and report its findings to the Legislature on or before December 31, 2019. The bill would repeal these provisions as of January 1, 2022.
