S 298 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits use of coupons, price rebates, and price reductions in sales of cannabis items.

This bill prohibits licensed cannabis retailers in New Jersey from offering coupons, price reductions, or price rebates for recreational cannabis sales to consumers. It applies specifically to Class 5 cannabis retailers (under New Jersey's cannabis regulatory law) but excludes medical cannabis dispensaries selling to registered qualifying patients. Violations carry escalating civil penalties: $250 for a first offense, $500 for a second, and $1,000 for third or subsequent offenses, with penalties paid to the local municipality. Repeat violations may also lead to license suspension or revocation by the Cannabis Regulatory Commission. The bill explicitly excludes medical cannabis sales and news media advertising from these restrictions.
