An act relating to miscellaneous amendments to the adult-use and medical cannabis programs

This bill makes several changes to Vermont's adult-use and medical cannabis programs, primarily focusing on how the system is governed and regulated. It creates a new advisory committee for the Cannabis Control Board with 14 members representing various areas of expertise, including public health, social justice, and business, who will provide recommendations to the state legislature. The bill also clarifies what counts as advertising for cannabis businesses while excluding educational materials and standard product labels, and it establishes rules for how local municipalities can issue their own cannabis licenses without charging fees. Additionally, the legislation defines how cannabis cultivation is classified under state law, ensuring it is treated differently from traditional farming activities.
