Bill > H189

This bill proposes to modify existing Massachusetts cannabis regulation by giving the Cannabis Control Commission expanded authority to review and approve billboard and large public-facing cannabis advertisements. Specifically, the bill would require the commission to comprehensively evaluate every cannabis billboard or large advertisement, with the power to approve or potentially reject elements such as imagery, size, location, font size, disclaimer requirements, and other visual aspects as the commission determines appropriate. This provision appears aimed at providing more regulatory oversight of cannabis marketing to potentially limit potentially misleading or inappropriate advertising, though the specific standards are left to the commission's discretion. The amendment would be added to Section 4 of Chapter 94G of the Massachusetts General Laws, which governs cannabis regulation in the state.
