SUMMARY:

House Bill 5222 would amend the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act to require that all marihuana sold through provisioning centers include a health warning for women who are pregnant and women who are breastfeeding.

Under the act, the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) must promulgate rules and emergency rules as necessary to implement, administer, and enforce the act. The rules must ensure the safety, security, and integrity of the operation of marihuana facilities and must include rules to, among other things, establish labeling and packaging standards, procedures, and requirements for marihuana sold or transferred through provisioning centers.
