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 specifies that its provisions shall not be construed to authorize or permit a licensee to transport or distribute, or cause to be transported or distributed, cannabis or cannabis products outside the state, unless authorized by federal law. This bill would make an exception to the above-described prohibition and would authorize the Governor to enter into an agreement with another state or states authorizing medicinal or adult-use commercial cannabis activity, or both, between entities licensed under the laws of the other state or states and entities operating with a state license pursuant to MAUCRSA, provided that the commercial cannabis activities are lawful and subject to licensure under the laws of the other state or states. The bill would prohibit an entity with a commercial cannabis license issued under the laws of another state from engaging in commercial cannabis activity within the boundaries of this state without a state license, or within a local jurisdiction without a license, permit, or other authorization issued by the local jurisdiction. The bill would require the agreement to require that the other state or states impose requirements on its licensees with regard to cannabis and cannabis products to be sold or otherwise distributed within this state that meet or exceed the requirements applicable to MAUCRSA licensees, as specified. The bill would require the agreement to include provisions to address public health and welfare emergencies concerning cannabis or cannabis products that are sold or intended for sale within this state and provisions related to the investigation of licensees and of instances of alleged noncompliance with the commercial cannabis regulatory programs, as specified. The bill would require the agreement to include provisions for collection of applicable taxes.
