Bill > S07274

This bill requires applicants for cannabis-related permits, registrations, or licenses in New York to report any law enforcement interactions that occur between the time they submit their application and the time their permit is issued. These interactions include arrests or tickets received during this period. If an applicant fails to report such interactions, their application will be automatically denied. Furthermore, if the failure to report is discovered after a permit has already been issued, the permit will be automatically revoked. This legislation aims to enhance transparency and ensure that the cannabis control board has complete information about applicants during the licensing process. The bill would amend the existing cannabis law by adding a new section that mandates this reporting requirement and establishes clear consequences for non-compliance, effectively creating a strict disclosure policy for potential cannabis industry participants.
