Summary of the Strike-Everything Amendment to SB 1029

Overview

Requires the Department of Revenue (DOR), on or before August 31 of each year, to provide a report of the previous fiscal year's marijuana tax collection data (Data) from specified marijuana establishments to the Department of Health Services (DHS) to compare data for discrepancies. 

History

In 2010, the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act (AMMA) was established through Proposition 203, a voter-approved initiative measure. Statute requires DHS to regulate AMMA through rulemaking, registration and certification of medical marijuana dispensaries, registration of qualifying patients and designated caregivers, issuing or denying registry identification cards and establishing a verification system. Statute also outlines limitations of AMMA, requirements for dispensaries, definitions of terms relating to the AMMA, guidelines on the dispensing of marijuana and the administration of the Fund (A.R.S. Title 36, Chapter 28.1).

In 2020, Arizona voters approved Proposition 207, to establish a regulatory system for adult recreational use of marijuana.
