AB 3054 Cannabis: appointees: prohibited activities.
Existing law, the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act of 2016 (AUMA), an initiative measure approved as Proposition 64 at the November 8, 2016, statewide general election, prohibits the director of the Department of Cannabis Control (department) and any member of the Cannabis Control Appeals Panel from engaging in certain activities, including from receiving any commission or profit whatsoever, directly or indirectly, from any person applying for or receiving any license or permit, as described. Existing law, 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 also prohibit individuals appointed by the Governor to specified positions in the department from engaging in those activities.
