Bill > AB76

This bill revises several provisions related to cannabis regulation in Nevada, making numerous changes to existing law. It modifies disciplinary procedures for cannabis establishments by introducing hearing officers to conduct disciplinary hearings instead of the Cannabis Compliance Board directly, and establishes new processes for reviewing and appealing disciplinary actions. The bill updates confidentiality rules for cannabis-related information, expands definitions of terms like "local governmental jurisdiction" and "usable cannabis", and revises requirements for packaging, labeling, and advertising of cannabis products. The legislation prohibits anthropomorphic images on cannabis packaging, adjusts THC concentration limits, and allows the Cannabis Compliance Board to issue warnings and admonishments before formal disciplinary proceedings. The bill also authorizes the Board to issue summonses and subpoenas for investigating unlicensed cannabis activities, clarifies smoking regulations for cannabis consumption lounges, and creates two new subcommittees within the Cannabis Advisory Commission to study consumable hemp products and cannabis taxation. Additionally, the bill expands exemptions from state prosecution for certain cannabis-related activities and makes technical changes to various existing statutes governing cannabis establishments, testing laboratories, and tribal government cannabis agreements.
