Bill > SB00231

This bill makes several changes to cannabis and electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) regulations. It requires cannabis establishments to submit marijuana and cannabis samples to licensed testing laboratories for testing according to standards set by the Commissioner of Consumer Protection, and outlines procedures for handling failed tests, including repeating tests or remediation plans, with disposal of the product if compliance is not met. The bill also modifies rules for ENDS dealer registration, stating that the Commissioner will not issue or renew a registration if the applicant or their owners have outstanding issues with the Department of Revenue Services (DRS) or have faced adverse administrative decisions. Furthermore, it clarifies who is permitted to deliver cannabis, specifying delivery services, their employees, and certain dispensary facilities and hybrid retailers. Finally, the bill updates requirements for the availability of a licensed pharmacist at hybrid retailer establishments and extends these modified requirements to dispensary facilities, ensuring pharmacists are readily available for consultations and dispensing, either in person or via telehealth, and mandates specific signage and continuing education for pharmacists involved in cannabis consultations.
