Bill > H7410

This bill amends the Rhode Island Cannabis Act to change the residency requirements for individuals and businesses applying for licenses to own or operate a cannabis establishment, specifically by removing the previous requirement that an applicant be a Rhode Island resident or a business with at least 51% ownership by Rhode Island residents, and instead only requiring "proof of residency" without specifying a duration or percentage of ownership. The bill also makes conforming changes to the definitions and qualifications sections for various cannabis-related licenses, including cultivators, product manufacturers, retailers, and testing laboratories, to reflect this updated residency requirement.
