An Act relative to data transparency in the cannabis industry
This bill requires the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission to publish detailed testing data from independent laboratories on a public website. The legislation mandates that the commission release industry-wide and per-lab averages for various chemical contaminants, potency levels, and terpene profiles, including data submitted before the law takes effect. Additionally, the commission must investigate and explain any significant discrepancies in testing results between individual labs and update this information quarterly. The bill also directs the commission to create specific regulations to implement these transparency requirements within one year of the law's effective date.
