This bill mandates the Cannabis Regulatory Commission to create a procedure that allows individuals to voluntarily exclude themselves from entering cannabis dispensaries or purchasing cannabis products. The commission is tasked with developing rules for the establishment and management of a self-exclusion list, which includes procedures for adding and removing individuals from the list, as well as ensuring that cannabis retailers are informed of the list. Retailers are required to implement measures to prevent self-excluded individuals from receiving promotional materials and to deny them entry to their establishments.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that any person can request to be placed on the self-exclusion list, acknowledging their desire to be excluded from cannabis retailers. It also emphasizes that cannabis retailers must not serve or allow entry to individuals on this list. Importantly, the bill ensures that the self-exclusion list is protected from public access, thereby maintaining the confidentiality of those who choose to self-exclude.
