[ Approved by Governor October 12, 2019. Filed with Secretary of State October 12, 2019. ] LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTAB 37, Jones-Sawyer. Personal income taxes: deductions: business expenses: commercial cannabis activity.Existing law, 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 and authorizes persons to conduct specified commercial cannabis activities, as defined, in the state.The Personal Income Tax Law and the Corporation Tax Law allow various deductions in computing the income that is subject to the taxes imposed by those laws.
