House Amendment 006

In provisions amending the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Program Act, makes changes to the definition of "Social Equity Justice Involved Applicant".

Removes language providing that any person 21 years of age or older in possession of cannabis shall not be required to possess cannabis in a container that meets specified requirements. Provides an exception for breaching the confidentiality of information obtained under the Act. Provides that an Early Approval Adult Use Dispensing Organization's application to relocate its license under specified provisions shall be deemed approved 30 days (rather than within 30 days) following the submission of a complete application to relocate. Provides that specified applicants may not be located within 1,500 of a dispensing organization licensed under provisions regarding Early Approval Adult Use Dispensing Organization Licenses or Early Approval Adult Use Dispensing Organization License secondary sites (rather than within 1,500 of a dispensing organization), unless specified requirements are met. Provides that if awarding a license in a Tied Applicant Lottery would result in a Tied Applicant possessing more than 10 specified licenses, or any combination of the specified licenses, (rather than only the specified licenses) the Tied Applicant must choose which license to abandon. Restores language requiring any product containing cannabis to be sold in a container that, among other things, must be odor-proof.
