MA Governor Healey Approves Shakeup Of Mass. Cannabis Laws

Massacusetts Gov. Maura Healey on Sunday signed a law reforming the state’s cannabis regulations and rebooting the Cannabis Control Commission.

Under the legislation, the current Cannabis Control Commission is immediately dissolved and downsized from five members to three, all to be appointed by the governor. Healey now has 30 days to reappoint a new commission, which has been riddled with internal conflict for years. Sunday was the deadline for Healey to sign the bill, which lawmakers sent to her desk April 9. Healey’s office said it has “already begun the process of identifying commissioners.”

“The cannabis industry is an important part of Massachusetts economy – supporting jobs and local businesses and generating revenue for cities and towns,” Healey said in a press release Sunday. “It’s important that we are doing everything we can to make sure this industry is set up for success and that we remain competitive in this fast-growing market.”
