Establishes additional requirements for cannabis testing laboratories and penalties for testing violations.
Bill A 1291 requires New Jersey's Cannabis Regulatory Commission to establish stricter testing standards for licensed cannabis testing laboratories, directly affecting all facilities currently operating under P.L.2021, c.16. Key provisions include mandating validated testing methods, detailed documentation for lab procedures, and an external audit program using statistical tools to detect anomalies or fraud in test results. The bill also creates a secret shopper program to anonymously verify compliance with packaging, labeling, and safety rules at cannabis retail facilities. These changes aim to improve product safety and testing accuracy across medical and adult-use cannabis markets, with enforcement including potential product recalls or facility penalties for violations.
