An Act Concerning Responsible And Equitable Regulation Of Adult-use Cannabis.

AI Summary

This bill, the Responsible And Equitable Regulation Of Adult-use Cannabis Act (RERACA), makes several key changes to cannabis laws in Connecticut: - Legalizes the possession, use, and sale of cannabis for adults 21 and older, while maintaining the existing medical cannabis program. It defines the different types of cannabis establishments that can be licensed, such as retailers, cultivators, and product manufacturers. - Establishes a Social Equity Council to promote participation in the cannabis industry by those from communities disproportionately harmed by cannabis prohibition. This includes creating programs to ensure social equity applicants have access to licenses and providing expedited or priority licensing. - Imposes new taxes on the sale of cannabis, with the revenue going to a Social Equity and Innovation Fund, a Prevention and Recovery Services Fund, and the state's General Fund. It also allows municipalities to impose an additional tax on cannabis sales. - Provides for the automatic erasure of certain past cannabis-related convictions and prohibits discrimination against individuals based on their cannabis use or past convictions. - Establishes new criminal penalties related to the sale or provision of cannabis to minors, and creates new driving under the influence offenses for cannabis. - Makes various other changes to the state's existing medical cannabis program and related laws. Overall, the bill aims to legalize and regulate the adult-use cannabis market in Connecticut in an equitable manner that promotes social justice.
