Establishes additional requirements for cannabis testing laboratories and penalties for testing violations.
This bill requires New Jersey's Cannabis Regulatory Commission to establish stricter testing standards for cannabis laboratories, directly affecting licensed testing facilities and retail businesses. Key provisions include mandating consistent testing practices, quality control systems, and proficiency standards for labs; creating external audit programs using microbiologists and chemists to detect fraud; requiring public disclosure of all test results on the Commission's website; and establishing a whistleblower program with protections for employees reporting violations. Violations like falsifying test results or selling noncompliant products would face escalating penalties - first offenses as disorderly persons offenses (up to 6 months jail or $1,000 fine), repeat offenses as fourth-degree crimes (up to 18 months jail or $10,000 fine). The bill also enables civil lawsuits for fraud victims to recover triple damages plus legal fees.
