The resolution proposes a measure related to marijuana that will be submitted to the voters of Arizona for approval. If passed, it will amend Title 36 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding several new sections that establish regulations for marijuana establishments, including licensing requirements, cultivation limits, and safety standards. Key provisions include disallowing individuals with violent crime convictions from holding positions in marijuana businesses, setting a base cultivation canopy size for licensed establishments, and implementing strict residual solvent limits for marijuana products.
Additionally, the resolution outlines the establishment of a seed-to-sale tracking system to monitor marijuana within the state and prohibits interstate commerce unless authorized by federal law. It also allows for the sharing of compliance information with federal agencies while ensuring that participation in any federal registration program remains voluntary. The act is titled the "Arizona Marijuana Alignment and Public Safety Act" and includes a severability clause to maintain the validity of other provisions if any part is deemed invalid. The Secretary of State is tasked with submitting this proposition to voters at the next general election.
