LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 794, as amended, Stern. Property tax. Edible marijuana products: labeling and packaging.

Existing law, the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA), enacted as an initiative statute at the November 8, 2016, statewide general election, regulates the cultivation, distribution, and use of marijuana for nonmedical purposes by individuals 21 years of age and older, including edible marijuana products. Existing law requires an edible marijuana product that is in solid form to be delineated or scored into standardized serving sizes if the marijuana product contains more than one serving.

This bill would additionally require each single serving of an edible marijuana product to be stamped, marked, or otherwise imprinted directly on the product with a universal symbol that is designed by the Bureau of Marijuana Control. The bill would specify the required size and visibility of the universal symbol.

The bill would require edible marijuana products to be sold in packaging that is tamperproof, child resistant, and, if the product contains more than one serving, resealable.

AUMA authorizes the Legislature to amend, by a ²/₃ vote, certain provisions of the act, provided that the amendments are consistent with, and further the purposes and intent of, the act.

This bill would declare that its provisions further specified purposes and the intent of the act.

Existing law requires county assessors to supply to the State Board of Equalization information from homeowners’ property tax exemption claims and county records necessary to fully identify all homeowners’ property tax exemption claims allowed by the assessors.

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to those provisions.
