Bill > HB1107

This bill establishes an Adult-use Cannabis Program in Pennsylvania, creating a comprehensive regulatory framework for cannabis cultivation by farmer-growers. The bill defines key terms such as "adult-use cannabis" (cannabis legalized for personal use by individuals 21 and older) and "farmer-grower" (a permit-holding entity authorized to grow cannabis). The Department of Health will administer the program, developing enforcement procedures and conducting both announced and unannounced inspections of cannabis facilities. Farmer-growers must obtain a permit, pay initial and renewal fees ($2,500 annually), and meet specific requirements including limiting grow sites to 10 acres, implementing security measures, and maintaining detailed inventory tracking systems. The bill restricts the number of permits issued, requires comprehensive reporting of sales and inventory, imposes a 1% tax on gross receipts, and mandates that farmer-growers follow municipal zoning regulations for agricultural operations. Applicants must undergo a thorough review process, verify sufficient capital, and maintain ongoing reporting duties, including immediate notification of any cannabis loss or theft. The program aims to create a structured, transparent system for adult-use cannabis cultivation in Pennsylvania, with strict oversight and regulatory compliance.
