OFA Fiscal Note
State Impact: None
Municipal Impact: None
Explanation
The bill requires any proposed changes in ownership of medical
marijuana businesses licensed by the Department of Consumer
Protection to be reviewed by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG)
to determine whether such changes would violate antitrust laws. This
has no fiscal impact since OAG currently has staff with expertise for
this purpose.
Additionally, the bill allows third-party medical marijuana
producers to purchase hemp and hemp products from entities that are
not part of the medical marijuana program. This has no fiscal impact
to the state or municipalities.
