AI Summary
This bill establishes a new certification program for cannabis health care technicians through the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC). The bill requires the OLCC to issue certifications to individuals who complete a registered apprenticeship program with at least 2,000 hours of supervised work experience and 145 hours of technical instruction in areas like cannabis science, pharmacology, health care ethics, and patient care. The OLCC will be responsible for setting certification requirements, potentially charging fees for certification, and creating a financial incentive program for marijuana retailers who employ these certified technicians. Additionally, the bill requires the OLCC to provide support to qualified marijuana retailers regarding potential future interstate commerce of marijuana items, including notification of opportunities, technical assistance, and expedited licensing reviews. The certification program and financial incentive program will become operative on January 1, 2026, and the interstate commerce provisions will become active when federal law changes or the U.S. Department of Justice issues a memorandum allowing such commerce. The bill takes effect 91 days after the adjournment of the 2025 regular legislative session.
