AN ACT relating to cannabis; revising certain requirements relating to the packaging, labeling and delivery of cannabis

Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of persons and establishments involved in the cannabis industry in this State by the Cannabis Compliance Board. (Title 56 of NRS) Existing law authorizes the Board to adopt regulations setting forth requirements relating to the packaging and labeling of cannabis and cannabis products. (NRS 678A.450) Section 2 of this bill prohibits those requirements from requiring: (1) a package of cannabis or cannabis products which is sold at wholesale to contain any label or tag other than a label or tag necessary for the functionality of any computer software used for the seed-to-sale tracking of cannabis adopted by the Board; and (2) a cannabis establishment to include any information on the label for any cannabis or a cannabis product that is already included on the packaging for the cannabis or cannabis product. Section 9 of this bill revises requirements concerning the labeling of cannabis products for the purpose of allowing information required to be included on a label to instead be included on packaging. Sections 1.3 and 1.5 of this bill define the terms “label” and “packaging” for the purposes of the provisions of existing law governing the medical and adult use of cannabis. Section 1.7 of this bill makes a conforming change to apply the definitions set forth in sections 1.3 and 1.5 to the provisions of existing law governing the medical and adult use of cannabis. Existing law prohibits a person from engaging in the business
