SB 71 removes legal restrictions that previously prevented law enforcement and government agencies from inspecting, searching, and seizing property at cannabis dispensaries, cultivation facilities, manufacturing facilities, and testing facilities. The bill repeals four sections of state law that had prohibited these enforcement actions and updates related cannabis regulations to align with the new authority. This change allows the same law enforcement powers that apply to other businesses to now apply to licensed cannabis operations.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
