Relates to the state cannabis advisory board
This bill modifies the composition of the state cannabis advisory board by adding a non-voting representative from the division of service-disabled veterans' business development. The change ensures that veterans' business development interests are included in the board's discussions without granting them voting power. The new member serves alongside existing representatives from various state departments, all of whom are appointed by the governor and legislative leaders to serve three-year terms. This adjustment aims to broaden the board's perspective on cannabis policy by incorporating the viewpoint of the veterans' community.
