LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 390, as introduced, Ammiano. Marijuana Control, Regulation, and Education Act.

Existing state law provides that every person who possesses, sells, transports, or cultivates marijuana, concentrated cannabis, or derivatives of marijuana, except as authorized by law, is guilty of one or more crimes.

This bill would remove marijuana and its derivatives from existing statutes defining and regulating controlled substances. It would instead legalize the possession, sale, cultivation, and other conduct relating to marijuana and its derivatives by persons 21 years of age and older, except as specified. It would set up a wholesale and retail marijuana sales regulation program, including special fees to fund drug abuse prevention programs, as specified, to commence after regulations concerning the program have been issued, and federal law permits possession and sale consistent with the program. It would ban local and state assistance in enforcing inconsistent federal and other laws relating to marijuana, and would provide specified infraction penalties for violations of these new marijuana laws and regulations, as specified. It would make other conforming changes.

By creating various infractions for violations of regulations and laws created by this act, 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.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this, the Marijuana Control, Regulation, and Education Act, to do all of the following:

(a) To legalize marijuana and its derivatives.

(c) To ensure that the proper regulatory apparatus for marijuana sale and cultivation is ready when permitted by the federal government.

(d) To raise funds and to discourage substance abuse by the imposition of a substantial fee on the legal sale of marijuana, the proceeds of which will support drug education and awareness.

(e) To impose a set of regulations and laws concerning marijuana comparable to those imposed on alcohol.

(f) To impose substantial fines for violations of the noncommercial regulations and laws concerning marijuana, which will be applicable until and after commercial marijuana is available by virtue of future changes in federal law.

(g) To prevent state and local agencies from supporting any prosecution for federal or other crimes relating to marijuana that are inconsistent with those provided in this bill.

(h) To exclude from the fees and regulations imposed by this act marijuana that is for uses other than smoking or ingestion, and to exclude medicinal marijuana from fees under these provisions.

It is the intent of the people in enacting this act that the regulation of marijuana sales be consistent with the statutory guidance regarding alcohol sales in Chapter 16 (commencing with Section 25600), to the extent that consistency is feasible.

(e) Recordkeeping consistent with the regulatory needs of the department.
