Adult-use cannabis and medicinal cannabis: license application: labor peace agreements.

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, 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 and requires an applicant for any type of license issued 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. MAUCRSA also requires an applicant with 20 or more employees to provide a statement that the applicant will enter into, or demonstrate that it has already entered into, and abide by the terms of a labor peace agreement. This bill would require an applicant with 20 or more employees to provide a notarized statement that the applicant will enter into, or demonstrate that it has already entered into, and abide by the terms of a labor peace agreement. This bill would also require an applicant for a state license under MAUCRSA, if the applicant has less than 20 employees and has not yet entered into a labor peace agreement, to provide a notarized statement as a part of its application indicating that the applicant will enter into and abide by the terms of a labor peace agreement within 60 days of employing its 20th employee. By expanding the scope of the crime of perjury, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. AUMA authorizes the Legislature to amend, by a majority vote, certain provisions of the act to implement specified substantive provisions, provided that the amendments are consistent with and further the purposes and intent of the act. This bill would declare that its provisions implement specified substantive provisions of AUMA. The bill would also declare that its provisions further the purposes and the intent of the act. 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.
