Bill > S2962

This bill amends the Rhode Island Cannabis Act to remove the requirement for specific subcommittees within the cannabis advisory board, which is a group that advises the state commission on matters related to the regulation and policy development of the state's cannabis program. Previously, the law mandated the creation of several subcommittees focused on areas like public health, public safety, the cannabis industry, market participation, and social equity, each with specific responsibilities for developing recommendations. This bill streamlines the advisory board's structure by eliminating these statutorily required subcommittees, allowing the board to convene and provide recommendations as requested by the commission. The bill will become effective immediately upon its passage.
