Fiscal Note
Delay of Implementation of Marijuana Legalization Act
Fiscal Detail and Notes
Delaying the implementation of the provisions of the Marijuana Legalization Act (MLA) from February 1, 2018 to April 18, 2018 will have no impact on currently budgeted revenue. Although some one-time funding was provided to the Department of Administrative and Financial Services and to the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry to prepare for implementation of the MLA, to date the funding for the cost of full and continued implementation has not been provided. This delay does not affect the need for additional implementing legislation to fund the establishment of a regulated marketplace in the State for the adult use of marijuana under the MLA.
