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 the sum of $3,000,000 annually to the Department of the California Highway Patrol beginning fiscal year 2018–2019 until fiscal year 2022–2023, and requires the department to use those funds to, among other things, establish and adopt protocols to determine whether a driver is operating a vehicle while impaired and setting forth best practices to assist law enforcement agencies. This bill would amend AUMA by requiring the department to additionally use its annual appropriation from the fund to study the viability of standards for marijuana impairment and coordinate with research organizations within the state to accomplish, establish, and adopt these protocols and studies. (2) AUMA authorizes legislative amendment of its provisions with 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.
