An act relating to the creation of new types of cannabis establishment licenses and the provision of cannabis excise tax revenue to the Cannabis Business Development Fund, communities that have been disproportionately impacted by cannabis prohibition, and substance misuse treatment

This bill expands Vermont's cannabis regulations by allowing consumption in public places where tobacco is permitted, increasing THC limits in products, and creating new business licenses for delivery services and private events. It directly affects cannabis businesses, consumers, and communities by establishing specific rules for product potency, event hosting, and direct-to-consumer sales by cultivators. The legislation also allocates additional cannabis tax revenue to support business development, communities historically harmed by cannabis prohibition, and substance misuse treatment programs. These changes aim to provide more flexibility for consumers and businesses while maintaining safety standards and ensuring equitable economic benefits.
