Bill > A07709

This bill requires all vapor products dealers in New York State to register with the Department of Health and establishes new penalties and regulations for dealers who unlawfully sell cannabis. Under the bill, municipalities can create additional local registration requirements for vapor products dealers and can establish grounds for revoking their registrations or certificates of occupancy if they knowingly sell cannabis illegally. The bill imposes a $10,000 penalty on vapor products dealers who knowingly sell cannabis, cannabis products, or concentrated cannabis without authorization. Furthermore, the bill authorizes the Department of Health to notify other state agencies like the Cannabis Control Board, State Liquor Authority, and Department of Taxation and Finance about violations, which can result in the revocation of the dealer's other licenses and registrations. These provisions aim to prevent unauthorized cannabis sales by vapor products dealers and create a comprehensive enforcement mechanism across multiple state agencies, with the goal of ensuring compliance with cannabis sales regulations and protecting public health.
