An Act relative to the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission forming a department of workplace and consumer safety

HD 547 would require the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission to establish a new "department of workplace and consumer safety" within its structure. This department would specifically investigate workplace safety issues in cannabis facilities, including air quality and first responder access, and compile mold testing data for consumer safety reporting. The bill directly affects cannabis businesses and workers by creating a dedicated safety oversight unit under the Commission. It mandates concrete actions - investigating specific safety hazards and compiling data - without altering licensing or taxation rules.
