In 2018, industry advocates and businesses witnessed a flurry of activity in the California State Legislature involving cannabis related legislation. By the end of April this year, over 40 different bills had been introduced and were weaving their way through the legislative process.
While not all bills made it through the process, a substantial amount of proposals did and many are currently on the Governor’s desk awaiting his signature or veto.
I’ve prepared this quick reference guide that highlights several bills that are awaiting action, and I have also included bills that were recently signed or vetoed as of late August. Click the link below to review the bills currently on the Governor’s desk or to review the ones he recently approved or disapproved.
Pending and Recently Signed California Cannabis Bills 2018
The Governor has until September 30, to sign or veto bills, and while he has taken action on some early on, I expect him to decide the fate of the most controversial bills closer towards the deadline.
Any bill that the Governor does sign, goes into effect January 1, 2019, unless the bill specifically states otherwise. I will keep you posted as the Governor takes action on these bills, and in the meantime, if you have any questions about how these pending measures may impact your business, please contact me at info@thecannabisfile.com.
