Bill Summary

Relative to compliance with electrical codes for personal cultivation of marijuana in residential buildings. Marijuana Policy.

AI Summary

This bill amends a section of existing law to impose additional requirements for personal cultivation of marijuana in residential buildings. It requires individuals to obtain certification from an electrical inspector that the electrical system used for marijuana cultivation is in compliance with applicable electrical codes and is adequate and safe for the amount of cultivation occurring, considering the number of qualifying adults in the residence. Violations of these requirements would result in a civil penalty of up to $300 and forfeiture of the marijuana, but would not subject the individual to any other form of criminal or civil punishment.
