AI Summary

This bill amends the Rhode Island Cannabis Act to remove the requirement for the cannabis advisory board to have specific, statutorily mandated subcommittees, such as those focused on public health, public safety, the cannabis industry, market participation, and social equity. Instead, the advisory board will now focus on providing recommendations to the commission on matters related to the regulation and policy development of the state's cannabis program, and will convene at the commission's request to address specific issues. The bill also makes minor adjustments to the membership and responsibilities of the advisory board and will take effect immediately upon its passage.
