SB1466 is a bill designed to update and harmonize Arizona's medical and recreational marijuana laws. It introduces new regulations for the sale, packaging, labeling, testing, tracking, and advertising of marijuana products. The bill adds post-traumatic stress disorder and autism spectrum disorder to the list of qualifying conditions for medical marijuana use, mandates child-resistant packaging with scannable codes for product information, and sets a $50 cap on medical marijuana card fees, waiving the fee for honorably discharged veterans. It also allows for telehealth assessments for medical marijuana cards and removes cannabis from certain tax exemptions.

The bill outlines specific changes to the Arizona Revised Statutes, including new definitions for advertising and packaging, the establishment of a tracking system for marijuana products, and advertising guidelines to protect children. It also permits the transfer of funds between the Medical Marijuana Fund and the Smart and Safe Arizona Fund for enforcement purposes and increases funding for marijuana clinical trials. The bill requires a three-fourths majority vote for passage and would take effect on the general effective date.
