There will be a
decrease in revenue in the Department of Health in Human Services of 49,300
annually beginning in FY 2024-25. The Health Inspection Program (HIP) in the
Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention issues retail tobacco
licenses to applicants who are registered medical use cannabis caregivers and
dispensaries subject to tobacco laws, in accordance with Title 22 MRSA, c.
262. If cannabis-use products are
exempt, HIP will not be tasked with processing these applications for
registrants and there will be less revenue collected from these licenses. |
|
Any additional
costs to the Office of Cannabis Policy within the Department of
Administrative and Financial Services to adopt the changes in this bill
related to defining "cannabis paraphernalia" are anticipated to be
minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources. |
