2017 California Marijuana Law Bills

California NORML has posted a list of the 44 marijuana law bills pending in the 2017 state legislature in Sacramento that could affect marijuana law and policy in California.  These marijuana bills cover criminal law, cannabis licensing and regulation, and other subjects.

Of the marijuana criminal law bills, six concern DUID laws, two bills affect court proceedings, and one bill addresses federal involvement.

Of the cannabis licensing and regulation bills, two bills are specific to cannabidiol (CBD), one bill addresses concentrates, five bills affect edibles and their packaging and labeling (even though this is already covered in AUMA and MCRSA – see California Cannabis Law), twelve bills affect other aspects of cannabis licensing and regulation, six bills address taxes and uses for the marijuana tax fund from Proposition 64, five bills address water rights or Fish & Wildlife code, and one bill addresses marijuana cultivation on Tribal Lands.

There are also a few miscellaneous bills including one bill that touches on human rights, and two budget bills which may have provisions affecting marijuana.
