(1) 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. MAUCRSA generally divides responsibility for the state licensure and regulation of commercial cannabis activity among state licensing authorities depending on the type of license classification sought by the applicant. MAUCRSA authorizes licensing authorities to create new state licenses relating to commercial cannabis activity that the licensing authorities deem necessary to effectuate their duties by adopting regulations to that effect. MAUCRSA requires that, with the exception of testing laboratory licenses, which can be used to test cannabis products regardless of whether for commercial adult-use or commercial medicinal cannabis, all licenses issued under MAUCRSA bear a clear designation indicating whether the license is for adult-use activity or medicinal activity, as specified. This bill would allow a licensee to conduct any commercial cannabis activity allowed under its license with any other licensee, as specified, and would find and declare that this furthers the purpose of the initiative measure. (2) AUMA authorizes legislative amendment of its provisions with a 23 vote of both houses, without submission to the voters, to further its purposes and intent. This bill would declare that its provisions further the purposes and intent of AUMA.
Existing law authorizes a person who suffers a loss or harm to person or property from the unlawful act or omission of another to recover from the person at fault money damages. This bill would allow the injured party, in any action to recover damages for injury to person or property caused by lead-based paint, to establish a prima facie case that a particular lead paint pigment manufacturer is the cause of the injury if the injured party proves by a preponderance of the evidence that the lead paint pigment manufacturer sold, distributed, or promoted in California either the type of lead paint pigment that caused the injury or a product containing the type of lead paint pigment that caused the injury, and would shift the burden of proof to the lead paint pigment manufacturer to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that it did not sell, distribute, or promote the lead paint pigment that caused the injury or a product containing the type of lead paint pigment that caused the injury during the relevant time period or in the geographical market in which the injury occurred. The bill would make each lead paint pigment manufacturer jointly and severally liable if more than one lead paint pigment manufacturer is found liable for an injury to person or property caused by lead-based paint. The bill would expressly make these provisions retroactive. The bill would also state various findings and declarations of the Legislature related to these provisions. The bill would provide that its provisions are severable.
