AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 94G of the Massachusetts General Laws to require the Cannabis Control Commission to develop an annual research agenda to understand the social and economic effects of marijuana in the Commonwealth. The research agenda will cover a range of topics, including the impact of marijuana legalization on state and local governments, communities, individuals, families, businesses, and the criminal justice system. The bill also allows the Secretary of Health and Human Services, with the advice and consent of the Commission, to use funds from the Marijuana Regulation Fund to implement the research agenda. The Commission is required to make scientifically-based recommendations based on the research findings to various legislative committees and to consider the research in its decisions related to enhancing responsible marijuana use and mitigating marijuana abuse.
