Bill > HB150

This bill creates the Delaware Marijuana Control Act, which regulates and taxes marijuana in a similar manner to alcohol. It allows adults over 21 to legally possess and consume up to 1 ounce of marijuana, while prohibiting public consumption, driving under the influence, and sales to minors. The bill establishes a Marijuana Commissioner and Appeals Commission to oversee licensing and regulations for marijuana cultivation, manufacturing, and retail facilities. It creates different license types, including social equity and microbusiness licenses, and provides technical and financial assistance to social equity applicants. The bill also imposes a 15% marijuana control enforcement tax on retail sales, with the revenue deposited into a Marijuana Regulation Fund. Additionally, the bill allows for expungement of prior marijuana-related offenses and removes marijuana possession as a disqualifying factor for firearm possession.
