Relates to the location of the principal office of the cannabis control board and office of cannabis management

This bill (A 502) amends the Cannabis Law to require the principal office of both the Cannabis Control Board and Office of Cannabis Management to be located in Albany County. It mandates branch offices in New York City and Buffalo, with additional locations permitted as needed. The bill directly affects state cannabis regulatory agencies by specifying their primary operational location. This is a procedural change to agency structure, not a policy shift in cannabis regulation. The bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee on January 8, 2025.
