A 6267 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Makes various changes to membership on Cannabis Regulatory Commission and to legalized medical and personal use cannabis marketplace.

This bill (A6267) changes how the Cannabis Regulatory Commission is structured and operated in New Jersey. It establishes that the commission will have five members appointed by the Senate President, Speaker of the General Assembly, and Governor (with one designated as chair), requiring at least one member to represent organizations focused on social justice issues. Members must have relevant expertise in areas like criminal justice, public health, or industry management, and receive capped salaries ($165,000 for the chair, $160,000 for others). The commission will oversee both medical cannabis regulation (transferring authority from the Department of Health) and personal cannabis use under existing laws.
