Bill > SB2068

This bill amends the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act to add a new provision that allows county governments to notify the Department of Agriculture if a cannabis cultivation center fails to pay property taxes or associated penalties. Under this new provision, the Department of Agriculture will be required to refuse, suspend, or revoke the cultivation center's license based on such notification. This adds to the existing list of tax-related violations that can result in license penalties, which previously included failures like not filing tax returns, filing fraudulent returns, or not paying determined tax obligations. The bill essentially creates an additional mechanism for local governments to enforce tax compliance among cannabis cultivation centers by linking property tax payment directly to the ability to maintain a state-issued cultivation license. The provision aims to ensure that cannabis businesses meet their local tax obligations and provides counties with a clear enforcement tool beyond traditional tax collection methods.
