This bill aims to prevent the sale and marketing of cannabis products that appeal to children. It defines ‘attractive to children’ to include images of humans and certain cartoon-like elements, and establishes a process for cannabis manufacturers and sellers to get a determination from the Department of Cannabis Control on whether their packaging and labeling meet these standards. The bill also requires the department to develop a standardized rubric to guide these determinations and to update it regularly.
