LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1090, as amended, Cunningham. Marijuana Cannabis use: location restrictions.

The Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA), an initiative statute enacted by the approval of Proposition 64 at the November 8, 2016, statewide general election, authorizes a person 21 years of age or older to possess and use specified amounts of marijuana. cannabis. AUMA specifies that possessing, smoking, or ingesting marijuana or marijuana cannabis or cannabis products in or upon the grounds of a school, day care center, or youth center while children are present is prohibited. AUMA makes a violation of this location restriction punishable as an infraction or a misdemeanor, as specified. AUMA authorizes the Legislature to amend its provisions with a ²/₃ vote of each house of the Legislature, if the amendments are consistent with and further the purposes and intent of the act.

This bill would prohibit the possession, smoking, or ingesting of marijuana or marijuana cannabis or cannabis products in or upon the grounds of a school, day care center, or youth center, regardless of whether children are present. By expanding the scope of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
