Relates to the usage of funds in the New York state cannabis revenue fund
This bill allows New York's cannabis revenue fund to cover the costs of a tracking and tracing system for cannabis products. It specifically authorizes the Office of Cannabis Management and the Cannabis Control Board to use fund money for implementing, administering, and enforcing cannabis regulations, including the tracking program. The amendment to state law clarifies that these costs are eligible expenses from the fund, ensuring agencies have dedicated resources for regulatory oversight without needing separate budget approvals. This directly affects state cannabis regulators and the oversight of the legal cannabis market.
