Senate Committee on Finance Postpone Indefinitely
Summary
The bill would move testing and safety regulation of intoxicating cannabis products from the Department of Revenue to the Department of Public Health and Environment, require producers to register with that agency, and change the excise tax to a rate per milligram of cannabinoids. It is intended to protect consumers, give the health agency expertise over product safety, and help stabilize tax revenue. The measure was postponed indefinitely by the Senate Finance Committee and did not pass.
