The committee truly feels this bill requires work to make it more implementable if it becomes law. The original version of this bill, which was a full marijuana legalization and commercialization bill, came out of the policy committee with a recommendation of Inexpedient to Legislate. That motion was defeated on the floor and the bill was replaced in total by a floor amendment calling for the legalization of the growing of six marijuana plants at home, the ability to produce marijuana-infused products at home from the marijuana grown, and the possession of \ufffd of an ounce of marijuana or less. The bill was passed as amended and sent to the Ways and Means Committee as a second committee to look at revenue and fees. Since there was no revenue or fees in the amended bill, the Ways and Means Committee focused on whether revenue sources were needed to help support the oversight of the provisions of the amended bill sent to us. We heard much testimony that oversight was required and that without a stream of revenue, such as what the original commercialization of marijuana bill would have generated, the amended bill lacked the needed funding for proper oversight. The committee unanimously and in a bipartisan manner felt that more time was needed to discuss ways to raise revenue to properly oversee the legalization of the homegrown marijuana plants, marijuana-infused products, and the legalization of possession. Thus, the Ways and Means Committee unanimously supported an interim study motion. In addition, since this floor amendment was not fully vetted by the policy committee, several technical corrections were also needed. The most glaring was the language, \"marijuana-infused products containing no more than 300 milligrams of THC shall be possessed.\" What is missing is how many milligrams of THC per what measure of the product's weight. Not being the policy committee, the Ways and Means Committee did not have the knowledge base to answer that question. The committee wants to emphasize that it will indeed be studying this issue fully to ensure there is revenue to properly implement this bill's approach to marijuana legalization already supported by the full House."}], "source": "House Calendar 11, 2018", "date": "2018-03-21", "dated": "signed", "cite": "HC 11", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2018%5CNo%2011%20March%2016%202018.pdf"}, {"bill": "HB656", "title": "relative to the legalization and regulation of marijuana", "majority_recommendation": "INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE", "minority_recommendation": null, "reports": [{"side": "Committee", "author": "Rep.

Since 2012, voters in the District of Columbia and 7 states, including Maine and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have legalized possession and limited cultivation of marijuana by adults 21 years of age and older. II. Statewide polls have consistently found that most New Hampshire voters support making marijuana legal for adults 21 years of age and older. III. Marijuana is less harmful than alcohol to the consumer and to society. It is less toxic, less harmful to the body, less addictive, and less likely to contribute to violent or reckless behavior. Adults should not be punished choosing to use marijuana instead of alcohol, if that is what they prefer. IV. Home brewing of alcoholic beverages is legal in New Hampshire and every other state in the nation. V. Allowing adults to cultivate their own limited supply of marijuana will provide them with an alternative to buying marijuana from illicit drug dealers. 2 Other Alcohol and Drug Offenses; Possession of Drugs.

Additionally, this bill establishes a regulatory system for the cultivation, transport, sale, and taxation of marijuana. This bill identifies four regulatory agencies responsible for regulating businesses involved in the production, purchase, and sale of marijuana; (1) Department of Agriculture, Markets and Food (DAMF), (2) Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), (3) New Hampshire Liquor Commission (Commission), and (4) Department of Revenue Administration (DRA). The new regulatory system sanctions the following licensed businesses and activities:\n\nMarijuana Cultivation Facility. A business that grows and cultivates marijuana. DAMF and DRA are both responsible to license and regulate these businesses. It isn't clear as to whether the bill is intentionally designed to have two agencies involved with the regulation of the same business type.\n\nMarijuana Product Manufacturing Facility. A business that purchases marijuana from Marijuana Cultivation Facilities and produces products infused with marijuana. Such products can include cake, ice cream, candy, tinctures, cookies, or brownies. DHHS is responsible to license and regulate these businesses.\n\nRetail Marijuana Store. A retail business that purchases marijuana or products from Marijuana Cultivation Facilities or Marijuana Product Manufacturing Facilities and sells those goods to customers who are the age of 21 or over. The Commission is responsible to license and regulate these businesses.\n\nMarijuana Testing Facility. A business that tests for the potency of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in marijuana and any containments. DHHS is responsible to license and regulate these businesses.\n\nHemp Production. Persons will be permitted to cultivate hemp. DAMF shall be required to license individuals and regulate this activity.\n\nThere is no information available to estimate how many applicants will apply for or become licensed. The four aforementioned regulatory agencies (DRA, DAMF, DHHS, and the Commission) are responsible for adopting administrative rules for the facilities and activities they are charged with regulating that includes, but is not limited to the following:\n\nProcedures for the issuance, denial, renewal, suspension, and revocation of licenses;\n\nQualifications for licensee applicants;\n\nSafety standards;\n\nTransportation requirements;\n\nSchedule of civil fines;\n\nSecurity standards;\n\nRecord keeping requirements; and\n\nProcedures for hearings on civil fines and suspensions and revocations of licenses.\n\nIn addition to the provisions included in the preceding bullet points, this bill requires the Commission, DAMF, and DHHS to establish schedules for application, registration, and annual renewal fees via administrative rules. However, this bill statutorily establishes a $250 application fee and a $250 registration renewal fee every two years for Marijuana Cultivation Facilities collected by DRA and duplicatively requires DAMF to establish application and registration fees via rule for Marijuana Cultivation Facilities.\n\nIn addition to the statutory fees and fees established through rules, applicants for any of the four business licenses must submit a $500 fee to the applicable regulatory agency that is subsequently transferred, along with a copy of the application, to the municipality in which the business will be located. The municipality receives the payment and may then review and deny or approve the application. Municipalities may adopt ordinances prohibiting or limiting the number and type of marijuana establishments, establishing hours of operation, and creating local review procedures.\n\nThe rate at which marijuana shall be taxed shall be $30 per ounce of marijuana flower or proportionate part and $15 per ounce on all parts of marijuana other than the flower sold or transferred by a Marijuana Cultivation Facility to a Marijuana Product Manufacturing Facility or a Retail Marijuana Store. DRA must collect the tax and adjust the rate for inflation on an annual basis. Finally, an additional 15 percent tax shall be applied to the sales price for marijuana sold or transferred by a Retail Marijuana Store to the consumer, which will be collected by DRA. The Commissioner of DRA shall deposit 70 percent of the revenue into the general fund for distribution to the cities and towns for the purpose of property tax reduction. The remaining 30 percent of revenue will be deposited into the alcohol abuse prevention and treatment fund.\n\nDRA is required to license Marijuana Cultivation Facilities which will involve processing applications, forwarding the application and $500 fee to the municipality where the applicant desires to operate and evaluating registration applications and issuing registrations based on numerous areas of consideration. DRA states this bill cannot be administered as written as DRA must establish administrative rules and accept registration applications on June 1, 2018, prior to the bill becoming effective on July 1, 2018.\n\nTo administer this bill, DRA states it would need the following positions:\n\nPosition\n\nNumber of Positions\n\nFY 2018*\n\nFY 2019\n\nFY 2020\n\nFY 2021\n\nAdministrative Secretary (LG 14)\n\n1\n\n$31,000\n\n$58,000\n\n$61,000\n\n$64,000\n\nAdministrator III (LG 31)\n\n1\n\n$50,000\n\n$99,000\n\n$104,000\n\n$110,000\n\nTax Auditor VI (LG 31)\n\n2\n\n$93,000\n\n$188,000\n\n$200,000\n\n$212,000\n\nAttorney I (Unclassified DD)\n\n2\n\n$97,000\n\n$196,000\n\n$208,000\n\n$220,000\n\nTotal\n\n$271,000\n\n$541,000\n\n$573,000\n\n$606,000\n\nNote: * Assumes positions will be filled during half of FY 2018.\n\nDRA estimates the additional tax revenue will be between $42 million to $52.5 million annually based on the following assumptions and analysis:\n\nGENERAL ASSUMPTIONS\n\n2015 NH Population - 20 years or older\n\n(US Census Bureau)\n\n1,028,854\n\n2014 Marijuana Use among Persons 20 or older\n\n(National Survey on Drug Use and Health\n\n19.3%\n\nEstimate of State Population Using Marijuana\n\n198,569\n\nAverage Annual Marijuana Consumption\n\n(Colorado Futures Center)\n\n3.53 ounces\n\nEstimated Ounces Consumed Per Year\n\n700,948\n\nREVENUE DERIVED FROM $30 PER OUNCE TAX\n\nTax Rate Per Ounce\n\n$30\n\nEstimated Additional Tax Revenue\n\n$ 21,028,438\n\nREVENUE DERIVED FROM 15% SALES TAX\n\nLow Estimate*\n\nEstimated Total NH Marijuana Sales at $200 per Ounce\n\n$140,189,600\n\nEstimated Additional Tax Revenue at $200 per ounce\n\n$21,028,440\n\nHigh Estimate*\n\nEstimated Total NH Marijuana Sales at $300 per Ounce\n\n$210,284,400\n\nEstimated Additional Tax Revenue at $300 per ounce\n\n$31,542,660\n\nNote: * The per ounce price estimates are derived from the Colorado Marijuana Policy Group. The average price of medical marijuana is $200 and recreational marijuana is $300.\n\nDRA is unable to estimate the revenue generated from registration and application fees at the State and local level because the registration fee amounts and number of registrations will not be established until the rulemaking process is complete. Consequently, the Department has no method available to estimate the potential revenue at the State or local level.\n\nDAMF states that to regulate Marijuana Cultivation Facilities and the cultivation of hemp it would need to hire new staff, obtain new office space, purchase vehicles, and make a one time purchase of a marijuana plant tracking database to track marijuana plants. The following table provides the estimated costs:\n\nDAMF Personnel Costs\n\nPosition Title\n\nNumber of Positions\n\nFY 2018\n\nFY 2019\n\nFY 2020\n\nFY 2021\n\nAgricultural Inspector (LG 20)\n\n5\n\n$355,000\n\n$345,000\n\n$360,000\n\n$380,000\n\nTelecommunications Specialist (LG 20)\n\n1\n\n$71,000\n\n$69,000\n\n$72,000\n\n$76,000\n\nAdministrator I (LG 32)\n\n1\n\n$103,000\n\n$103,000\n\n$108,000\n\n$114,000\n\nAttorney I (LG 26)\n\n1\n\n$85,000\n\n$84,000\n\n$88,000\n\n$92,000\n\nAdministrative Secretary (LG 20)\n\n1\n\n$71,000\n\n$69,000\n\n$72,000\n\n$76,000\n\nInstitutional Safety Officer\n\n1\n\n$85,000\n\n$84,000\n\n$88,000\n\n$92,000\n\nDAMF Operations\n\nOffice Space\n\n$15,000\n\n$15,000\n\n$15,000\n\n$15,000\n\nOffice Support Costs\n\n$100,000\n\n$100,000\n\n$100,000\n\n$100,000\n\n6 Vehicle at $96,000 each\n\n$96,000\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\nMarijuana Plant Tracking Database\n\n$1,500,000\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\nTotal DAMF Personnel and Operations Costs\n\n$2,481,000\n\n$869,000\n\n$903,000\n\n$945,000\n\nDAMF is responsible to register individuals growing hemp and may assess $100 fee for the performance of its oversight duties. DAMF must adopt administrative rules relative to the regulation of Marijuana Cultivation Facilities no later than June 1, 2018, which is prior to the July 1, 2018 effective date of the bill. Additionally, DAMF is charged to adopt administrative rules for the regulation of hemp.\n\nThe Commission states it will need to hire new personnel prior to July 1, 2018. The Commission is responsible for establishing a maximum number of licenses that may be issued for the operation of Retail Marijuana Stores. The minimum number in the bill is one for every ten liquor stores which equates to approximately eight retail licenses. The Commission assumes there will be many more applications than the minimum number provided for by the bill. However, assuming only eight licensees are permitted, the Commission will need the additional personnel included in the table below to implement the provisions of this bill. Ultimately the number of staff needed will depend on the actual number of Retail Marijuana Store licenses issued.\n\nCommission Personnel Costs\n\nPosition Title\n\nNumber of Positions\n\nFY 2018\n\nFY 2019\n\nFY 2020\n\nFY 2021\n\nLegal Coordinator (LG 28, Group I)\n\n1\n\n$94,000\n\n$107,000\n\n$113,000\n\n$116,000\n\nLegal Secretary III (LG 14, Group I)\n\n1\n\n$53,000\n\n$68,000\n\n$71,000\n\n$73,000\n\nLiquor (Cannabis) Licensing Specialist (LG 18, Group I)\n\n1\n\n$61,000\n\n$83,000\n\n$87,000\n\n$89,051\n\nLiquor Enforcement Sergeant (LG 20, Group II)\n\n1\n\n$144,000\n\n$128,000\n\n$130,000\n\n$130,000\n\nLiquor (Cannabis) Investigator (LG 18, Group II)\n\n2\n\n$236,000\n\n$202,000\n\n$210,000\n\n$216,000\n\nLiquor (Cannabis) Examiner II (LG 20, Group I)\n\n1\n\n$93,000\n\n$87,000\n\n$92,000\n\n$94,000\n\nTotal Position Costs\n\n$681,000\n\n$675,000\n\n$703,000\n\n$718,051\n\nThe Liquor Commission states if eight licenses were issued, and license fees were approximately $10,000 (the fee will be determined through administrative rules), then state revenue would increase by $80,000. The Commission must adopt administrative rules no later than September 1, 2018, relative to the regulation of Marijuana Retail Stores.\n\nUnder this bill, DHHS would be required to register and regulate Marijuana Product Manufacturing Facilities and Marijuana Testing Facilities. The Department assumes this would include an inspection process. DHHS states it would incur a cost to establish administrative rules for the regulation of these facilities, which must be done no later than August 1, 2018. Depending on the number of facilities that become licensed, there may be a need to hire additional staff to perform the required regulatory functions. However, DHHS is unable to estimate the degree of the impact on DHHS resources and expenditures.\n\nThis bill establishes new violation level offenses and a class B felony offense, which may result in additional appeals to the supreme court, and eliminates an existing class A misdemeanor, an unspecified misdemeanor, and two felony offenses that may have an impact on the New Hampshire judicial and correctional systems. There is no method to determine how many charges would be brought or not brought as a result of the changes contained in this bill to determine the fiscal impact on expenditures. However, the entities impacted have provided the potential costs associated with these penalties below.\n\nJudicial Branch\n\nFY 2018\n\nFY 2019\n\nViolation Level Offense\n\n$48\n\n$48\n\nClass B Misdemeanor\n\n$49\n\n$50\n\nClass A Misdemeanor\n\n$71\n\n$72\n\nRoutine Criminal Felony Case\n\n$451\n\n$456\n\nAppeals\n\nVaries\n\nVaries\n\nIt should be noted average case cost estimates for FY 2018 and FY 2019 are based on data that is more than ten years old and does not reflect changes to the courts over that same period of time or the impact these changes may have on processing the various case types.

The majority of indigent cases (approximately 85%) are handled by the public defender program, with the remaining cases going to contract attorneys (14%) or assigned counsel (1%).\n\n* The Council\u2019s budget request for the FY 2018-19 biennium includes an increase to $300 per case for contract attorney misdemeanor cases.\n\nDepartment of Corrections\n\nFY 2016 Average Cost of Incarcerating an Individual\n\n$35,832\n\n$35,832\n\nFY 2016 Average Cost of Supervising an Individual on Parole/Probation\n\n$573\n\n$573\n\nNH Association of Counties\n\nCounty Prosecution Costs\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nEstimated Average Daily Cost of Incarcerating an Individual\n\n$85 to $110\n\n$85 to $110\n\nThe Department of Justice states that existing resources used to prosecute large-scale drug trafficking crimes involving marijuana would be used to prosecute other controlled substances. Therefore, in regards to prosecution costs, the net impact would be $0. However, the four regulatory agencies would require legal assistance to implement the administrative rules required of them under this bill. Such associated costs are indeterminable.\n\nThe Department of Safety states this bill will have an indeterminable impact on its operations. The Department assumes there will be an increase in the number of driving under the influence (DUI) of marijuana related cases which could include DUI arrests and DUI crash investigations. There could also be fewer arrests made for marijuana possession which would represent an indeterminable cost savings. However, marijuana related arrests are often accompanied with additional unrelated charges so this savings may be minimal.\n\nThere may be an indirect reduction in local law enforcement expenditures because fewer violations for possession of marijuana are likely to be prosecuted. Any such reduction is speculative and cannot be determined.\n\nAGENCIES CONTACTED:\n\nJudicial Branch, Departments of Corrections, Justice, Safety, Health and Human Services, and Agriculture, Markets and Food, New Hampshire Liquor Commission, Judicial Council, New Hampshire Association of Counties, and Department of Revenue Administration", "in_text": [], "chars": 31406}, "nver": 0, "namd": 0, "rsa": {"RSA 265-A:43": "/laws/265-a#s43", "RSA 318-B": "/laws/318-b", "RSA 318-B:2-c": "/laws/318-b#s2-c", "RSA 126-X": "/laws/126-x", "RSA 169-B:6": "/laws/169-b#s6", "RSA 265-A": "/laws/265-a", "RSA 176-A:1": "/laws/176-a#s1", "RSA 318-B:26": "/laws/318-b#s26", "RSA 318-B:2-e": "/laws/318-b#s2-e", "RSA 318-C:4": "/laws/318-c#s4"}, "amends": {"RSA 265-A:43": "/laws/265-a#s43", "RSA 318-B:2-c": "/laws/318-b#s2-c", "RSA 318-B:26": "/laws/318-b#s26", "RSA 318-C:4": "/laws/318-c#s4"}}
