AN ACT relating to cannabis; requiring the Cannabis Compliance Board to adopt regulations setting forth requirements for

Existing law authorizes the Cannabis Compliance Board to adopt regulations to carry out the provisions of existing law governing the cannabis industry in this State. Under existing law, such regulations may include requirements for licensees or registrants relating to the cultivation, processing, manufacture, transport, distribution, testing, study, advertising and sale of cannabis and cannabis products. (NRS 678A.450) Sections 1 and 3 of this bill require, rather than authorize, the Board to adopt regulations setting forth requirements for licensees and registrants relating to the testing of cannabis and cannabis products. Section 3 requires the regulations to set forth certain requirements, including the requirement that representative samples of each lot of cannabis be tested by a cannabis independent testing laboratory and various requirements concerning the collection of such representative samples. Section 3 defines the term “lot” to mean: (1) the flowers from one or more cannabis plants of the same harvest batch, in a quantity that weighs 15 pounds or less; (2) the leaves or other plant matter from one or more cannabis plants of the same harvest batch, other than full female flowers, in a quantity that weighs 45 pounds or less; or (3) the wet flower, leaves or other plant matter from one or more cannabis plants of the same harvest batch used only for extraction, in a quantity that weighs 150 pounds or less within 2 hours of harvest.
