Bill > HB1332

This bill establishes a comprehensive legal framework for the production, sale, and regulation of cannabis in Indiana, effective July 1, 2025. The bill creates a detailed regulatory system overseen by a new Cannabis Commission, which will be responsible for issuing permits, establishing safety standards, and enforcing regulations for cannabis cultivation, processing, transportation, and retail sales. Key provisions include creating different types of permits for growers, processors, transporters, and retailers, with specific requirements for each category. The bill imposes a 10% excise tax on cannabis sales and establishes a Cannabis Regulation Fund to distribute revenue to various state programs, including mental health services, education, and local law enforcement. The legislation allows individuals to personally cultivate up to four cannabis plants at home and sets up strict licensing requirements, including provisions to ensure at least 15% of permits go to minority or veteran-owned businesses. The bill also includes comprehensive criminal penalties for violations of cannabis regulations, updates existing drug laws, and provides guidelines for personal cultivation, retail sales, and transportation of cannabis products. Additionally, the bill creates mechanisms for local counties to opt out of cannabis retail sales through a referendum process.
