Bill > SB1410

This bill amends the existing Arizona law on marijuana licensing and delivery. The key provisions include: 1. Allowing the Department of Health Services to adopt rules for licensing marijuana establishments and testing facilities, including requirements for security, tracking, testing, labeling, and packaging of marijuana and marijuana products. 2. Limiting the number of marijuana establishment licenses that can be issued based on the number of registered pharmacies in the state, with some exceptions for counties with few or no existing medical marijuana dispensaries. 3. Requiring the Department to establish a social equity ownership program to promote ownership and operation of marijuana businesses by individuals from communities disproportionately impacted by previous marijuana laws. 4. Authorizing the Department to allow and regulate delivery of marijuana and marijuana products by licensed marijuana establishments starting on or after January 1, 2023, with specific requirements for delivery operations. 5. Prohibiting delivery of marijuana outside of the rules adopted by the Department, with penalties for unauthorized delivery. The bill also requires a three-fourths vote of the legislature for the amended law to take effect.
