CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES: Provides relative to the regulation of cannabis (EG SEE FISC NOTE SG RV)
This bill contains only technical amendments to the text of a separate cannabis regulation measure and does not establish any new policies or programs. The changes involve minor word substitutions and the addition of "Research and Extension" to the name of a university center. Because the bill itself does not create substantive rules, it directly affects only the legislative record rather than the public or specific industries.
