A 1543 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Directs that cannabis product be stored or kept in locked container; establishes civil penalty for violation.

This bill requires individuals and businesses to store all cannabis products (including edibles, topicals, tinctures, and ointments) in a locked container. Violations carry a civil penalty of at least $250 per offense, collected through standard penalty enforcement procedures. The law does not apply to cannabis products during manufacturing, transportation, or permitted use under New Jersey’s existing cannabis regulations (P.L.2021, c.16). It directly affects anyone handling cannabis products outside of these exempted scenarios.
