Summary

The Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act of 2016 (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 Bureau of Cannabis Control in the Department of Consumer Affairs, the Department of Food and Agriculture, and the State Department of Public Health. MAUCRSA establishes the Cannabis Control Appeals Panel and authorizes any person aggrieved by specified decisions of a licensing authority related to disciplining any license to appeal the licensing authority's written decision to the panel. Existing law regulates the disclosure of personal information by government agencies related to, among others, social security numbers, business records, drivers license numbers, medical information, and credit reporting information. This bill, on and after January 1, 2022, would require the licensing authorities either to post on their internet websites or through the California Cannabis Portal, or to make available at least weekly via LISTSERV in a comma-separated values (.csv) format, as specified, certain information regarding an applicant or a licensee, including specified disciplinary actions taken by a licensing authority or a regulator of another state or jurisdiction. The bill, on and after January 1, 2022, would authorize the licensing authorities to disclose this information by linking to original documents. The bill would prohibit its provisions from being construed as requiring the disclosure of any information that is prohibited from disclosure under any state or federal law. The bill would make related findings and declarations. The Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act, an initiative measure, authorizes the Legislature to amend the act to further the purposes and intent of the act with a 23 vote of the membership of both houses of the Legislature. This bill would declare that its provisions further specified purposes and intent of the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act.
