It amends the Liquor Code to add a new article that establishes a framework for the cultivation, manufacturing, testing, and retail sale of cannabis and cannabis products. The bill imposes a 10% gross receipts tax on cannabis cultivation facilities and a 19% excise tax on the retail sale of cannabis.
