An Act establishing an internal special audit unit within the Cannabis Control Commission

This bill creates a new internal special audit unit within the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission to oversee the integrity and efficiency of the agency's operations. The unit will be led by a director appointed by the state inspector general rather than the commission itself, ensuring independence from the agency being audited. Its primary duties include monitoring the commission's activities, preventing fraud, and providing training on regulatory investigations. Additionally, the legislation requires the commission to cooperate with the audit unit and establishes a formal agreement for collaboration between the commission, the Department of Agricultural Resources, and the Department of Public Health.
