The proposed bill, HB2770, seeks to amend existing Arizona laws regarding marijuana by enabling interstate agreements for the transfer and delivery of marijuana and marijuana products. It allows the Governor to enter into agreements with other states for cross-jurisdictional coordination and enforcement of marijuana-related businesses, as well as for the delivery of marijuana products. The bill outlines requirements for these agreements, including ensuring public health and safety standards, and mandates that any marijuana delivered into Arizona must be tested and properly labeled.

Additionally, the bill introduces conditional enactment provisions, stating that the agreements will only take effect if federal law is amended to permit interstate marijuana transfers or if the U.S. Department of Justice issues a supportive opinion by October 1, 2028. It also modifies definitions related to marijuana establishments and delivery regulations, allowing for deliveries from either retail locations or processing sites. Overall, the bill aims to expand the operational scope of marijuana businesses in Arizona while ensuring compliance with health and safety standards.
