MODERATE
The bill was finalized from its A-Engrossed version to the Enrolled version, which is the final version ready for signing into law. The substantive policy content of the cannabis market provisions remains the same, though Section 4 was expanded to clarify how licensees can share samples with each other and their workers.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains unchanged; it still regulates cannabis market activities in Oregon including temporary events, sample distribution, and worker permits.
TECHNICAL
The bill title changed from 'A-Engrossed' to 'Enrolled', indicating the final version ready for the governor's signature.
Removed the editor's summary section which explained the bill's purpose in plain language; this is standard practice for enrolled bills.
Minor formatting changes including page number additions and removal of legislative markup notes.
REQUIREMENT
Section 4 was expanded to clarify that licensees can receive samples from other licensees in proportional amounts to distribute to their workers, and to explicitly allow licensees to provide those received samples to their workers.
Added a new subsection (5) to Section 4 authorizing the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission to adopt rules to carry out the section.
