Bill > HB380

This bill modifies the penalties for qualifying patients or designated caregivers who sell cannabis to individuals who are not also qualifying patients or designated caregivers under the state's therapeutic cannabis law. Specifically, the bill removes a separate penalty provision and instead directs that such unauthorized sales will be subject to criminal penalties under existing drug law (RSA 318-B:26) and result in the automatic revocation of the seller's registry identification card. The changes streamline the penalty structure for unauthorized cannabis sales by therapeutic cannabis users, ensuring that those who sell cannabis outside of the legal framework face criminal consequences and lose their legal authorization to possess or use therapeutic cannabis. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, and while the fiscal note indicates potential indeterminable impacts on state and local government expenditures related to judicial and correctional systems, no direct fiscal costs are anticipated.
