An Act dedicating one-percent of the recreational marijuana excise tax to youth substance use prevention

This bill proposes that one percent of the tax revenue collected from recreational marijuana sales in Massachusetts be directed to the Prevention and Wellness Trust Fund. The designated funds would specifically support evidence-based public health programs aimed at preventing substance use among young people. By amending existing tax laws, the legislation ensures a dedicated portion of marijuana excise tax revenue is allocated to youth prevention initiatives rather than general state revenue.
