Bill > S298

Introduced Session

This bill prohibits the use of coupons, price reductions, and price rebates in connection with the sale of cannabis items. The bill defines cannabis items as any usable cannabis, cannabis product, cannabis extract, and any other cannabis resin. The prohibition under the bill does not apply to medical cannabis and the coupons or discounts for medical cannabis dispensed to or on behalf of a registered qualifying patient by a medical cannabis dispensary or clinical registrant. A violation of the prohibition established by the bill would be punishable by a civil penalty of not less than $250 for a first violation, not less than $500 for a second violation, and $1,000 for a third or subsequent violation, which is required to be paid into the treasury of the municipality in which the violation occurred. A cannabis dispensary found to have committed a violation would be subject to an additional administrative penalty or suspension of the retailer's license, and subject to revocation for a second or subsequent violation. The penalties imposed under the bill would be in addition to any other penalty that may be imposed by the Cannabis Regulatory Commission for the violation of the "New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace Modernization Act," and any of the regulations promulgated by the commission.
