Prohibits use of coupons, price rebates, and price reductions in sales of cannabis items.
This bill bans recreational cannabis retailers in New Jersey from using coupons, discount codes, or price rebates for sales to consumers. It directly affects licensed Class 5 cannabis retailers selling recreational products, imposing civil penalties starting at $250 for first violations (rising to $1,000 for repeat offenses) and allowing license suspension or revocation for repeated violations. Medical cannabis dispensaries remain exempt, as the bill explicitly excludes discounts for medical cannabis dispensed to registered patients under New Jersey's medical program. The law also clarifies that news media isn't liable for advertising violations.
