Bill > SB6303

This bill aims to update regulations for cannabis product packaging and vapor devices, with the "board" referring to the relevant regulatory body. It allows for solid cannabis-infused products intended for eating to be packaged loosely in a single, resealable container, provided it meets child-resistant packaging standards. For cannabis concentrates and vapor products, the bill permits packaging in unit sizes that do not exceed the maximum quantity allowed for sale in a single transaction, while maintaining child-resistant packaging and labeling requirements, and ensuring package sizes automatically adjust if purchase limits change. It also introduces a new system for cannabis plant traceability, allowing producers to use digital batch-level identification instead of individual plant tags, provided the digital tracking is robust enough for enforcement and recall purposes. Furthermore, cannabis retailers will be allowed to accept open cannabis packages and used vapor devices and batteries from consumers for the sole purpose of recycling or safe disposal, with strict protocols to prevent resale or redistribution. Finally, cannabis vapor products sold at retail must use batteries designed to be easily removable by consumers or recyclers, with potential exceptions for specific devices or medical needs, and the bill mandates that these vapor devices only use batteries that are removable using commonly available tools to facilitate recycling and reduce fire risk.
