Summary

AB 1061 would legalize possession of cannabis for adults in Wisconsin and set up a state‑run division to license growers, processors, retailers and transporters, collect taxes and fees, and oversee the market. It also creates a conviction‑review unit to consider expungement or sentence adjustments for past marijuana offenses and establishes a medical‑cannabis registry. The bill replaces many existing statutes with new cannabis‑specific laws and includes provisions for research, municipal tax sharing, and anti‑discrimination rules.
