AI Summary
This bill addresses marijuana labeling requirements and warning signage related to pregnancy risks in Oregon. It requires both marijuana retailers and medical marijuana dispensaries to prominently display signs warning that consuming marijuana during pregnancy may cause birth defects. These signs must be at least 8.5 x 11 inches with clearly legible text no smaller than 5/8 inch in height, include a graphic depiction of the warning, and be placed at the point of entry or at each point of sale. If a significant portion of the dispensary's patrons primarily speak a language other than English, the signs must be bilingual. Additionally, the bill amends existing labeling regulations to mandate that marijuana items and inhalant delivery systems containing industrial hemp-derived vapor products include warnings about potential pregnancy risks on their product labels. The Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission and Oregon Health Authority will be responsible for overseeing and implementing these new labeling and signage requirements, with the goal of protecting public health by ensuring consumers are informed about the potential dangers of marijuana use during pregnancy.
