Bill Summary
This bill permits persons to voluntarily self-exclude themselves from being able to enter dispensaries or purchase any cannabis items from a cannabis dispensary. Under the bill, the Cannabis Regulatory Commission is required to promulgate rules or regulations related to: (1) establishing procedures for the placement on, and removal from, the list of self-excluded persons; (2) establishing procedures for the transmittal of the list of self-excluded persons to all cannabis retailers; and (3) providing guidance for cannabis retailers to establish procedures designed to: (a) remove self-excluded persons from targeted mailings or other forms of advertising or promotions; and (b) deny self-excluded persons entry and access to the retail location and the cannabis items provided by the cannabis retailer. The bill permits any person to be placed on the self-exclusion list and requires any cannabis retailer to deny entry or sale to a person included on the list. The bill establishes that the self-exclusion list is exempt from public inspection, copying, or disclosure.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Cannabis Regulatory Commission, which is the state agency responsible for overseeing the cannabis industry, to create a system allowing individuals to voluntarily ban themselves from entering cannabis dispensaries and purchasing cannabis products. The commission must establish procedures for how people can be added to and removed from this list of "self-excluded persons." They also need to ensure this list is shared with all licensed cannabis retailers. Furthermore, retailers will be required to implement their own procedures to stop sending advertisements to self-excluded individuals and to prevent them from entering their stores or buying any cannabis items. Anyone can request to be placed on this list, and retailers are obligated to deny entry or sales to anyone on it. Importantly, this list will be kept confidential and will not be made public, though retailers can share information from it for the specific purpose of enforcing the self-exclusion rules.
