HB 7446: AN ACT RELATING TO FOOD AND DRUGS -- UNIFORM CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES ACT

HB 7446 updates the state's list of controlled substances by replacing the existing statutory schedules with the current version of Title 21 of the federal Code of Federal Regulations. This change ensures that any drug or substance added, rescheduled, or removed by the federal government is automatically reflected in state law within 60 days, unless the state health director objects. The bill requires the state health director to align state regulations with federal standards while retaining the authority to independently add, reschedule, or delete substances based on specific criteria such as abuse potential and public health risks. Additionally, the legislation maintains existing registration requirements for manufacturers, distributors, and practitioners while clarifying exemptions for employees and ultimate users acting in the course of their business or lawful medical practice.

HB 7505: AN ACT RELATING TO FOOD AND DRUGS -- THE RHODE ISLAND CANNABIS ACT

HB 7505, known as the Rhode Island Cannabis Act, allows hybrid cannabis cultivators and retailers to advertise their products during a specific transitional period. This temporary measure applies to businesses that currently sell both medical and adult-use cannabis while the state finalizes its new regulatory rules. The bill requires these businesses to maintain strict separation between medical and adult-use inventory and sales, ensure continued service levels for medical patients, and follow detailed operational plans until a new commission takes over full regulatory authority. By signing this act, the Governor enabled these businesses to legally market their goods while the state prepares for a more permanent regulatory framework.

HB 8325: AN ACT RELATING TO STATUTES AND STATUTORY CONSTRUCTION

HB 8325 updates Rhode Island state laws to include technical corrections and specific changes to two key areas. First, it clarifies how lottery prizes must be paid to minors and individuals under legal disabilities by directing funds to guardians or custodians. Second, it reorganizes how hotel taxes are distributed among various regional tourism districts, local cities, and state agencies, with different percentages applying to taxes collected before and after December 31, 2015. The bill also reenacts a large portion of the state's general laws to ensure consistency after these amendments.
