An Act relative to fines for violations of cannabis advertising regulations

HD 320 requires the Cannabis Control Commission to study the current fine structure for cannabis advertising violations and how to improve it to prevent unwanted advertising. It also directs the Commission to examine how to invest money collected from these fines into communities affected by prohibited cannabis ads, specifically mentioning DARE programs, extracurricular activities, and police-community engagement. The Commission must file a report with legislative leaders by January 1, 2027, including any recommendations on both the fine structure and the community investment plan. This bill does not change existing fines or funding; it mandates a study to inform future policy decisions. The study directly affects the Commission, cannabis businesses (through potential future fine changes), and communities impacted by cannabis advertising.
