AI Summary

This bill establishes a Cannabis Advisory Council, a 12-member body comprised of individuals with diverse backgrounds in Maine's medical and adult-use cannabis industries, as well as public health and municipal officials, to advise the state on cannabis-related matters. The council will make recommendations to state agencies and the legislature on improving the quality and addressing issues within both the medical use cannabis industry and the adult use cannabis industry, including topics like financial services, taxation, research, and public health. The bill also outlines the appointment process, terms of service, and meeting requirements for the council, and designates that council members will be reimbursed for their expenses from both the Adult Use Cannabis Regulatory Coordination Fund and the Medical Use of Cannabis Fund, with specific appropriations allocated for this purpose.
