AB 2749 (Stone, Mark D) Cannabis: quality assurance and testing.
Existing law requires cannabis or cannabis products to be tested by a licensed testing laboratory. Existing law requires the licensed testing laboratory to issue a certificate of analysis for each batch of cannabis or cannabis products tested, including reporting on a specified list of compounds and contaminants.
This bill would require the bureau, on or before January 1, 2022, to establish specific testing standards for all specified compounds and contaminants. The bill would also require the bureau to post a notification on its internet website when a licensed testing laboratory is prohibited for more than 45 days from issuing certificates of analysis and to remove that notification immediately upon reinstatement of the licensed testing laboratory’s authorization to issue certificates of analysis if the licensed testing laboratory is otherwise in good standing.
