AB 76 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to cannabis. (BDR 56-286)

AB 76 revises Nevada's cannabis regulatory framework, primarily changing disciplinary procedures for cannabis businesses and licensees. It shifts key decisions from the Cannabis Compliance Board to its Executive Director, who now determines whether to pursue disciplinary action, serves notices of violation, and manages initial hearings through a hearing officer instead of the Board. The bill also authorizes the Board to issue warning letters or nonpunitive admonishments and use summonses for unlicensed cannabis activities. These changes streamline enforcement while preserving rights to Board review and judicial appeal for affected businesses.

MODERATE
This bill shifts the disciplinary process for cannabis licensees from internal Board hearings to independent hearing officers, ensuring impartial adjudication. It also expands the Board's enforcement powers to issue summonses for unlicensed activities and clarifies definitions regarding synthetic cannabinoids and local jurisdictions.
Scope change
The bill modifies the procedural scope of disciplinary actions and expands the enforcement scope to include unlicensed operators.
ENFORCEMENT

Disciplinary hearings are now conducted by independent hearing officers instead of the Cannabis Compliance Board itself, and the Board can now issue summonses and subpoenas to investigate unlicensed cannabis activities.

DEFINITION

The definition of 'synthetic cannabinoid' is updated to include any artificially produced cannabinoid not obtained directly from a cannabis plant, while excluding THC produced via specific processes.

A standardized definition for 'local governmental jurisdiction' is established to ensure consistency across medical and adult-use cannabis regulations.

REQUIREMENT

Packaging and labeling rules are revised to prohibit requiring extra labels for computer software tracking and to prevent duplicate information on product labels.
