CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2017–2018 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill No. 930


Introduced by Senator Hertzberg

January 25, 2018


An act relating to financial institutions.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 930, as introduced, Hertzberg. Financial institutions: cannabis.
Existing law, the Financial Institutions Law, regulates the activities of various financial entities, including commercial banks, industrial banks, trust companies, credit unions, and savings and loan associations.
The Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act of 2016, an initiative measure approved as Proposition 64 at the November 8, 2016, statewide general election, authorizes a person who obtains a state license under the act to engage in commercial adult-use cannabis activity pursuant to that license and applicable local ordinances. The Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA), among other things, consolidates the licensure and regulation of commercial medicinal and adult-use cannabis activities.
This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation that would establish a state-chartered bank that would allow a person licensed to engage in commercial cannabis activity under MAUCRSA to engage in banking activities in California.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 It is the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation that would establish a state-chartered bank that would allow a person licensed to engage in commercial cannabis activity under Division 10 (commencing with Section 26000) of the Business and Professions Code to engage in banking activities in California.
