Prohibits the possession of an open container of cannabis or cannabis product in the passenger area of certain motor vehicles

Bill S 8065 prohibits the consumption of cannabis or the possession of an open container of a cannabis product in the passenger area of most motor vehicles located on public roadways. This applies to both the operator and passengers, with violations being a traffic infraction. An "open container" is defined as one with a broken seal or partially removed contents, and the "passenger area" includes spaces readily accessible to the driver or passengers. However, the bill provides an exception for passengers in commercial vehicles designed to carry ten or more people for profit or hire, such as buses or limousines.
