Bill > H5249

This bill amends the Rhode Island Cannabis Act to require cannabis retail sales licensees to mandate that each of their dispensaries display signage warning about the potential risks to infant development from consuming marijuana and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) products during pregnancy. Specifically, the bill adds a new subsection to the existing law that obligates cannabis retailers to ensure such warning signs are prominently displayed in their dispensaries. This requirement is part of a broader set of regulations governing cannabis retail sales in Rhode Island, which include provisions for licensing, compliance, inspections, and operational standards. The bill aims to increase public awareness about the potential health risks associated with cannabis use during pregnancy by ensuring that consumers are informed about these risks at the point of sale. The legislation will take effect immediately upon its passage, mandating that all cannabis dispensaries in Rhode Island comply with the new signage requirement.
