An Act to create efficient cannabis testing standards

This bill (HD 1968) updates Massachusetts cannabis testing regulations. It requires the Cannabis Control Commission to set a minimum 25-pound batch size for testing, prohibits testing environmental media (like soil) beyond finished products, and mandates annual reviews of testing protocols with input from labs and growers. The bill also requires the Commission to publicly report quarterly data on testing failure rates for pesticides, heavy metals, microbes, and THC levels from each licensed lab. These changes directly affect cannabis testing labs, growers, and regulators by standardizing testing requirements and increasing transparency in compliance data.
