Summary

The Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA) , an initiative measure approved as Proposition 64 at the November 8, 2016, statewide general election, authorizes a person who obtains a state license under AUMA to engage in commercial adult-use cannabis activity pursuant to that license and applicable local ordinances. The Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA) , among other things, consolidates the licensure and regulation of commercial medicinal and adult-use cannabis activities. MAUCRSA generally divides responsibility for the state licensure and regulation of commercial cannabis activity among the Department of Consumer Affairs, the Department of Food and Agriculture, and the State Department of Public Health, and specifies grounds for disciplinary action of a licensee by a licensing authority. MAUCRSA establishes the Cannabis Control Fund and the Cannabis Fines and Penalties Account for specified use by the licensing authorities. Existing law prohibits an adult-use licensee from selling or transferring cannabis or cannabis products to a person unless the person presents documentation that reasonably appears to be a valid government-issued identification card showing the person is 21 years of age or older. Existing law authorizes a medicinal cannabis licensee to sell or transfer cannabis or cannabis products to a person who is 18 years of age or older and who has a medicinal cannabis card or a referral from a physician or who is the primary caregiver for a person with a medicinal cannabis card or a referral from a physician. Violation of these provisions may result in a felony charge and the suspension, revocation, or probation of the commercial cannabis license and specified fines. This bill would establish the Adolescent Cannabis Prevention Fund to be available, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for the purposes of preventing persons under 21 years of age from accessing cannabis and cannabis products, unless otherwise specified. The bill would require specified fine and penalty moneys collected by licensing authorities to be deposited into the fund for those purposes. The Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act, an initiative measure, authorizes the Legislature to amend by a majority vote certain provisions of the act to implement specified substantive provisions, provided that the amendments are consistent with and further the purposes and intent of the act. This bill would declare that its provisions implement specified substantive provisions of the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act. The bill would also declare that its provisions further specified purposes and intent of the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act.
