Adult-use cannabis and medicinal cannabis: license application: OSHA training.

The Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act of 2016 (AUMA) , an initiative measure approved as Proposition 64 at the November 8, 2016, statewide general election, authorizes a person who obtains a state license under AUMA to engage in commercial adult-use cannabis activity pursuant to that license and applicable local ordinances. AUMA authorizes the Legislature to amend its provisions with a 23 vote of both houses to further its purposes and intent. The Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA) , among other things, consolidates the licensure and regulation of commercial medicinal and adult-use cannabis activities and requires an applicant for any type of license issued under MAUCRSA to provide to the licensing authority specified information, including a statement, signed by the applicant under penalty of perjury, that the information provided is complete, true, and accurate. This bill, except as specified, would require an applicant for initial licensure or renewal of a state license under MAUCRSA to provide a statement that the applicant employs, or will employ within one year of receiving a license or renewal, one supervisor and one employee who have successfully completed a Cal-OSHA 30-hour general industry course offered by a training provider that is authorized by an OSHA Training Institute Education Center to provide the course. By expanding the scope of the crime of perjury, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would declare that its provisions further specified purposes and intent of AUMA. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 26051.5 of the Business and Professions Code proposed by AB 2980 and AB 3261 to be operative only if this bill and either or both AB 2980 and AB 3261 are enacted and this bill is enacted last. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
