Adult-use cannabis and medicinal cannabis: license application: OSHA training.

The Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act of 2016 (AUMA) , an initiative measure enacted by the approval of Proposition 64 at the November 8, 2016, statewide general election, authorizes a person who obtains a state license under AUMA to engage in commercial adult-use cannabis activity pursuant to that license and applicable local ordinances. 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. MAUCRSA generally divides responsibility for the state licensure and regulation of commercial cannabis activity among the Department of Consumer Affairs, the Depart of Food and Agriculture, and the State Department of Public Health and requires those state licensing authorities to begin issuing licenses by January 1, 2108. AUMA authorizes the Legislature to amend its provisions with a 23 vote of both houses to further its purposes and intent. MAUCRSA requires an applicant for a state license under MAUCRSA to provide to the licensing authority specified information, including a statement, signed by the applicant under penalty of perjury, that the information provided is complete, true, and accurate. This bill would require an applicant for a state license under MAUCRSA to provide a statement that the applicant employs, or will employ within one year of receiving a license, an employee who has successfully completed a federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration 10-hour general industry course. By expanding the scope of the crime of perjury, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would declare that its provisions further specified purposes and intent of AUMA. 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.
