I. The general court hereby finds that: the people of the state of New Hampshire find and declare that cannabis should be regulated so that: (a) Individuals will have to show proof of age or qualifying patient status before entering a cannabis retail outlet or purchasing cannabis. (b) Safe access to therapeutic cannabis is preserved and expanded in a manner that allows costs to come down, not increase, though integration of participants in the existing therapeutic cannabis program competing on an even footing with other applicants of similar qualifications. (c) Selling, distributing, or transferring cannabis to minors and other individuals under the age of 21 shall remain illegal. (d) Driving under the influence of cannabis shall remain illegal, and funds shall be allocated for increased training of drug recognition experts to spot driving under the influence of substances including cannabis. (e) Moving cannabis production and sales from the underground, sometimes dangerous, illicit market to legal businesses allows for appropriate regulations and control. (f) Cannabis sold in this state will be tested, labeled, and subject to additional regulations to ensure that consumers are informed and protected. (g) Some of the revenue generated from legal cannabis shall be used to support programs for education, prevention, treatment, and recovery related to the use of both legal and illegal drugs. (h) Marketing and advertising to minors is prohibited. (i) Advertising to the general public is prohibited. II. Many years of work have led to this effort which addresses the following goals to put the state of New Hampshire in the driver's seat to focus on harm reduction, not profits, and: (a) Allows the state to control distribution and access through state laws, administrative rules, and local control. (b) Keeps cannabis away from children and schools by establishing 1,000 foot distance requirements for stores, limiting access to retail outlets to people 21 and older or qualified patients, and imposing limits on product design and packaging. (c) Controls the marketing and messaging by prohibiting advertising which targets the general public, especially minors. (d) Prohibits \"marijuana miles\" by restricting cannabis retail outlets to one per municipality or one for every 15,000 residents in larger municipalities, as well as empowering local zoning control for these businesses. (e) Empowers towns to keep cannabis out through required ballot measures to allow cannabis retail outlets. (f) Reduces access to poly-drugs by: (1) Introducing 15 stores at first and allowing expanded licenses to reflect demand and allow retail outlets to reach Granite Staters who may still face a prohibitively long drive to reach licensed New Hampshire cannabis retail outlets or out of state options and may continue to turn to the illicit market if the placement of stores does not respond to market demands; (2) Prohibiting beverages that combine alcohol and cannabis; and (3) Prohibiting the inclusion of nicotine or other additives to products which are designed to make the product more addictive. (g) Undercuts the cartels by: (1) Imposing an agency fee of 10 percent on monthly gross total revenue of cannabis sales which is in line with the state excise tax in Massachusetts but well below the total tax burden of approximately 20 percent in that state. (2) Keeping costs low by not requiring a particular store layout, construction, or building contractor to meet appearance guidelines for the exterior of state licensed cannabis retail outlets. (3) Recognizing the need for expanded licenses in the future in order to accommodate locations in more rural areas of the state which are not well positioned to compete for limited licenses. (h) Limiting initial cannabis retail outlet licenses to 15: (1) While prohibiting a controlling interest in more than 3 cannabis retail outlets; and (2) Providing a pathway for expanded licenses as the state establishes a successful long-term sus-tainable solution to cannabis legalization, while prioritizing harm reduction over profits. (i) Reducing influence of lobbying and donations by: (1) Ensuring that licensing will increase responsibly to balance the need for more cannabis retail outlets in underserved communities; and (2) Ensuring that laws and administrative rules do not pick favorites but rather create a transparent administrative process for applications and selection criteria. 2 New Subparagraphs; Application of Receipts; Cannabis Fund. Amend RSA 6:12, I(b) by inserting after subparagraph 394 the following new subparagraphs: (395) Moneys deposited in the cannabis fund established in RSA 318-F:26.

VI. No later than 18 months after the effective date of this section, and every 2 years thereafter, the commissioner of the department of health and human services shall submit an annual report to the governor and fiscal committee of the general court detailing the activities of the administration of the substance use prevention, treatment, and recovery fund, the amount distributed in the past year, the amount remaining in the fund, a summary of how funds were used in the past year, and any recommendations for future legislation.

The making of any such false statement in any such application or in any such accompanying statements, whether made with or without the knowledge or consent of the applicant, shall, in the discretion of the commission, constitute sufficient cause for the revocation of the license. V. The commission shall adopt by rule under RSA 541-A a formal enforcement policy for licensees under its jurisdiction.

A renewal application may be submitted up to 90 days prior to the expiration of the cannabis establishment's license. The renewal application shall be granted within 30 days of its submission unless the applicant has not paid the fee, the cannabis establishment's license is suspended or revoked, or the cannabis establishment has a pattern of violations of this law, the rules issued pursuant to it, or municipal regulations. VI. Conditional approval pending securing property. (a) An applicant may not be rejected on the basis that the applicant has not purchased or leased the property where the cannabis establishment would be located.

The petition shall be of not less than 5 percent of the legal voters within the city or town filed with the secretary of state within the timeframe regulating other ballot measures for municipal elections. The same requirements established in paragraph I shall apply to that subsequent municipal election. III.

Therefore, this bill may have an impact on the judicial and correctional systems, which could affect prosecution, incarceration, probation, and parole costs, for the state, as well as county and local governments. A summary of such costs can be found at: https://gencourt.state.nh.us/lba/Budget/Fiscal_Notes/JudicialCorrectionalCosts.pdf\n\nThe Liquor Commission states this bill proposes an extensive regulatory framework to be administered by the Liquor Commission which is renamed in the bill to be the Liquor and Cannabis Commission. Primary enforcement and licensing authority would be the responsibility of the Commission. Regarding these responsibilities the Commission provides the following information concerning the required time line:\n\nThe Liquor Commission shall develop or contract for an inventory tracking system for the growth and tracking of cannabis products. Due to the anticipated cost of this system the Commission would need to bid the contract and establish a training and implementation period.\n\nThe bill provides that 15 months after the effective date of this chapter, and every year thereafter, the commission shall reevaluate the fines and penalties established in RSA 318-F, and shall report, in writing, on its findings and recommendations to the Chairpersons of the House of Representatives and Senate Ways and Means Committees.\n\n18 months after the effective date of this section, and every 2 years thereafter, the Commissioner of the Department of Health and Human Services shall submit an annual report to the Governor and Fiscal Committee of the General Court detailing the activities of the administration of the Substance Use Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery fund, the amount distributed in the past year, the amount remaining in the fund, a summary of how funds were used in the past year, and any recommendations for future legislation.\n\nThe Commission shall report to the general court within 18 months after the effective date of this act and by January 1 of each year thereafter on distribution of funds to the Community Reinvestment Fund.\n\nThe Commission is required to adopt administrative rules for cultivation licenses, and a schedule of civil fines 18 months after the effective date of the bill the Commission shall report to the Chairpersons of the House and Senate Ways and Means Committees its proposal for a fine schedule and for legislation needed to implement the schedule.\n\nNot later than 18 months after the effective date of this chapter, the Commission, in consultation with the Department, shall develop an informational handout, which cannabis retail outlets shall make available to all consumers\n\n20 months after the effective date the Commission shall adopt administrative rules for licensing for all cannabis establishments and shall accept and process applications beginning no later than 2 months after the issuance of rules governing the category of cannabis establishment for which the rules were adopted.\n\n36 months after the effective date of this section, after receiving input from the Cannabis Advisory Board, the Commission shall make written recommendations to the General Court regarding the regulation of hemp.\n\nThe bill would authorize the Commission to transfer funds within and among all accounting units within the Commission's operating budget and to create accounting units and expenditure classes as required and as the commissioner deems necessary and appropriate to address present or projected budget deficits, or to respond to changes in federal law, regulations, or programs, and otherwise as necessary for the efficient management of the liquor commission and cannabis funds.\n\nThe Liquor Commission indicates it will require the following additional positions to administer its responsibilities under this bill:\n\nTwo senior management positions would be needed to support the cannabis program: an Administrator IV within in the Division of Administration and a Deputy Director for Cannabis in the Division of Enforcement and Licensing.\n\nThe Division of Enforcement and Licensing to oversee development and implementation of the processes as outlined in the bill. The Division would need a minimum of 10 new law enforcement and administrative personnel to effectively carry out the implementation of program in the timetable laid out in the bill. These positions include:\n\n1 Lieutenant position\n\n2 Examiner II positions\n\n6 Investigators\n\n1 Licensing specialist\n\nIn addition to the enforcement and licensing personnel, the Division will require equipment adequate to fully outfit sworn members of the Division and non-sworn personnel hired to license and audit the businesses manufacturing and selling cannabis.\n\nThe Division of Administration and Finance would track and record all transactions, purchases and fiscal matters associated with the program. Seven new positions would be added to the division to discretely and separately track fiscal and legal matters associated with the cannabis program and prepare the reports required by the bill. These positions include:\n\n1 Attorney IV\n\n1 Financial Reporting Administrator 1\n\n2 Accountant III positions\n\n2 Internal Auditor II positions\n\n1 Human Resources Coordinator\n\nMarketing Positions. The Commission would ensure a safe and responsible message to promoted to consumers which would be clear and beneficial to a state-run model and the franchisees.\n\n1 Advertising Specialist \u2013 Marketing Cannabis\n\n1 Administrative Assistant \u2013 Marketing Cannabis\n\n1 Marketing Specialist \u2013 Marketing Cannabis\n\nThe Commission indicates it would need legislative authority to pay staff members working on both liquor and cannabis matters increased wages until such time as the program is well established and all necessary new staff have been hired for program administration. The Commission assumes a 10% stipend would be necessary to compensate existing staff engaged in the development and all administrative aspects of the program. The bill does not currently include a provision for this stipend.\n\nThe Commission provided the following cost estimates to implement the bill:\n\nCannabis Start-up Costs\n\nFY 2025\n\nFY 2026\n\nFY 2027\n\n22 New Positions - Identified above\n\n$2,215,503\n\n$2,787,350\n\n$2,891,371\n\nConsultant - with cannabis expertise.\n\n$250,000\n\n$250,000\n\n$250,000\n\nRent office space (10,000 sq ft @ $24/sq.ft) Initial office space until space can be constructed at the Commission Headquarters.\n\n$240,000\n\n$247,200\n\n$254,616\n\nConstruction to build out / fit up office in new rental space.\n\n$50,000\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\nEquipment for 22 people -laptops, printers, phones, etc. ( $5k per person - 10 people in year 1 and 12 people in year 2)\n\n$50,000\n\n$60,000\n\n$0\n\nOffice furniture 22 people ($10k per person - 10 people in year 1 and 12 people in year 2)\n\n$100,000\n\n$120,000\n\n$0\n\n10 Cars for Investigators, Examiners & Auditors ($30k per vehicle - 5 in year 1 and 5 in year 2)\n\n$150,000\n\n$150,000\n\n$0\n\nOperating Expenses (overhead costs, utilities, supplies, contracts, etc.)\n\n$400,000\n\n$412,000\n\n$424,360\n\nSub-Total Office Start up\n\n$3,455,503\n\n$4,026,550\n\n$3,820,347\n\nStand Alone Government Traceability Solution\n\nLicensing & Auditing and ERP financial system (Developed in consultation with the Department of Information Technology)\n\n$5,000,000\n\n$2,000,000\n\n$1,000,000\n\nOffice construction at HQ building - To allow cannabis operations to eventually be housed within the headquarters building.\n\n$500,000\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\nTOTAL:\n\n$8,955,503\n\n$6,026,550\n\n$4,820,347\n\nSalary stipend (for existing senior staff dedicated to developing the new program, estimated amount and will depend on the overall scope of the project )\n\n$200,000\n\n$250,000\n\n$275,000\n\nThe Department of Revenue Administration indicates section 16 of the bill amends the Business Profits Tax (BPT), specifically RSA 77-A:4, to allow a deduction from gross business profits for the ordinary and necessary expenses paid or incurred on a trade or business as a cannabis establishment as defined by RSA 318-F:1 or an alternative treatment center as defined by RSA 126-X:1, including reasonable allowance for salaries or other compensation for personal services actually rendered. The Department states this change would result in an indeterminable increase in BPT and BET revenue to the State general fund and education trust fund. The Department is not able to estimate what the taxable income of the cannabis businesses will be. Regarding section 17 of the bill and the proposed amendment to RSA 76:3. The Department is unable to calculate the available funds that will remain after deducting the cost as outlined in RSA 318-F:26, V(a). However, any amount remaining that is deposited into the ETF would reduce the amount of Statewide Education Property Tax (SWEPT) to be collected by the municipalities to generate revenue of $363 million. Proposed RSA 318-F:26 establishes the cannabis fund into which fees are deposited. The Department notes the proposed RSA 318-F:26, I and V reference RSA 77-H which does not currently exist and is not established by the bill. It is assumed that this require further clarification/amendment. The Department would be responsible for updating all necessary tax forms and electronic management systems which would not result in additional administrative costs that could not be absorbed in the Department's operating budget.\n\nThe Department of Health and Human Services, Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Services states there is considerable uncertainty about the impact that legalizing cannabis in New Hampshire would have on public budgets including unknowns around potential increases in consumption, treatment utilization, prevention needs, and associated costs. The Department indicates the science is currently unsettled on the causal effects of cannabis on psychoses, schizophrenia, and impaired driving, and therefore, the Department is unable to determine if these areas would be impacted and lead to additional costs. Evidence supporting the treatment needs for cannabis use disorder is documented, and the Department assumes treatment costs would increase with cannabis legalization, although such costs are indeterminable.\n\nThe Department expects the bill would have an impact on State revenues and expenditures due to the potential sales revenue and unknowns cost related to increases in consumption, treatment utilization and prevention needs. Assuming revenue and expenditure values would correlate with the current Alcohol Abuse Prevention and Treatment Fund activity, the Bureau estimates annual revenue and expenditures would increase by between $10 million and $12 million. To provide the Department with capacity for coordination and management of new the Substance Use Prevention and Recovery Fund, the Department states a Program Specialist IV position would be needed. This position would be responsible for planning the development and modification of programs, policies and procedures and managing and evaluating the work product of state and local programs providing services. The estimated cost of the position is $93,000 in FY 2025, $96,000 in FY 2026 and $99,000 in FY 2027. Since there is no appropriation for this position, it is assumed the cost would be funded by the \u201cSubstance Use Prevention and Recovery Fund\u201d established by the bill. In addition, the Department assumes the $500,000 appropriation for the cost of developing and implementing a public education campaign would be from the State general fund.\n\nThe Department assumes in order to complete the data collection and reporting requirements in the bill, a Business Systems Analyst II would be needed. The cost of this position would be $109,000 in FY 2025, $113,000 in FY 2026 and $117,000 in FY 2027. There is an annual allocation of $100,000 to the Department from the Cannabis Fund for the data collection and reporting requirements that would partially cover the cost of the position, in addition to a $100,000 general fund appropriation the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025 to collect baseline data to be used in the reports required by RSA 318-F:24.\n\nThe Department of Safety indicates this bill would create a law to regulate the manufacture, possession, and sale of cannabis. The Department states the fiscal impact of this bill is indeterminable as it is impossible to predict criminal activities related to cannabis legalization. Based on information from states that have legalized cannabis the Department makes the following assumptions concerning the potential fiscal impact of this bill:\n\nDetermining impairment in drivers under the influence of marijuana remains a challenge as there is no standardized test to determine levels of impairment.\n\nMarijuana use will increase including among minors. Despite legalization, marijuana trafficking and black-market marijuana continue to be enforcement challenges in states that have legalized marijuana. Traffic deaths involving drivers who tested positive for marijuana and incidents of driving under the influence have increased in states that have legalized. Suicide incidents in which toxicology results were positive for marijuana have increased in states that have legalized.\n\nWhile the Department cannot predict the financial impact, it assumes, based on the experiences from states that have legalized, the financial impact due to the increased enforcement issues could be significant. Enforcement costs may increase in crimes such as robbery, burglary, and theft. These enforcement issues will impact local and state law enforcement and may lead to a need for increases in manpower and training.\n\nThe New Hampshire Municipal Association estimates, based on information available, 219,169 persons 18 years old and older in New Hampshire used cannabis in the past year and approximately, 149,007 NH residents 18+ used cannabis in the past month. Based on information from Maine\u2019s Office of Cannabis Policy\u2019s on marijuana use, the Association estimates that NH residents alone would consume the following range of legal cannabis per year:\n\nLower Volume\n\nMiddle Volume\n\nUpper Volume\n\n4,087,921 grams\n\n5,185,444 grams\n\n6,517,622 grams\n\nAssuming a market price of $7.83 per gram and a 10% tax rate, the Association estimated the following potential revenue range for sales to New Hampshire residents after 3 years of sales based on traditional sales volume and Maine\u2019s sales volume:\n\nLower Volume\n\nMiddle Volume\n\nUpper Volume\n\n30% Legal Sales\n\n$960,253\n\n$1,218,061\n\n$1,530,989\n\n48% Legal Sales (ME)\n\n$1,536,404\n\n$1,948,897\n\n$2,449,583\n\nThe Association notes that the bill does not appear to restrict sales to New Hampshire residents\n\nand it is likely that sales will also come from non-residents. It is uncertain whether other market forces may affect tax revenue. If New Hampshire\u2019s revenues come in at the same rate as Maine\u2019s, then the following revenue estimates may apply: Year 1: $5.8 million, Year 2: $8.2 million, and Year 3: $15.9 million. The Association indicates it has no reason to believe that revenues will exceed those produced in Maine.\n\nGiven the time lines in the bill for rulemaking, the Association anticipates it is not likely that the rules would be complete for retail cannabis establishments until the end of 2025. After rulemaking, retail cannabis establishments will have to be sited and built, meaning sales will not likely occur prior to mid- 2026. It is not known what additional administrative costs may result from this bill, however, a deduction of $8.1 million is expected in the year following passage. Unless the NH sales volume approaches Maine's, it is unlikely that municipalities will see any revenue until after FY 2030. Municipalities that vote in November 2024 to allow cannabis establishments may undergo their own ordinance creation process, resulting in costs associated with research and development of those ordinances and regulations that must complement any state rules. This will require additional staff time, but not likely before draft rules are announced by the state agency. These costs are indeterminable.\n\nGiven the difficulty obtaining information relative to effects of legalization on crime statistics, ambulance deployment statistics, and the existing status of New Hampshire as a small state surrounded by states where cannabis is legal in some form, and the existing gray and black markets for cannabis, it is likely that New Hampshire municipalities will see some indeterminable increase in costs associated with legalization of cannabis and cannabis products. New rules relative to possession, cultivation, and gifts, will likely see a shift in law enforcement focus, leading to new and different costs which are indeterminable.\n\nThe New Hampshire Association of Counties does not anticipate a significant fiscal impact to the County Corrections Departments or the County Attorney\u2019s Offices.\n\nLBA Notes:\n\nProposed RSA 318-F:26 establishes the Cannabis Fund. Moneys credited to the fund shall include deposits into the fund by the Commission pursuant to this chapter and deposits into the fund by the Commissioner of the Department of Revenue Administration pursuant to RSA 77-H.
