Bill > S05827

This bill amends the cannabis law to require that all registered cannabis organizations, licensees, permittees, and other entities under the jurisdiction of the cannabis board must sell or deliver edible cannabis products only in child-resistant packaging. Specifically, the bill defines "edible cannabis product" as a cannabis-infused product intended for consumption. The new regulation aims to prevent accidental ingestion by children by mandating packaging that is difficult for young children to open but still accessible to adults. The bill will take effect 180 days after becoming law, which provides time for cannabis businesses to adapt to the new packaging requirements. The legislation also allows for the immediate preparation and completion of any necessary rules or regulations to implement the new packaging standards, ensuring a smooth transition for cannabis product manufacturers and retailers.
