Summary of the Strike-Everything Amendment to SCR 1030

Overview

Subject to voter approval, allows the transfer of a marijuana establishment license if certain conditions are met and modifies the definition of violent crime.

History

Proposition 207 (2020) legalized marijuana for adult personal use. Proposition 207 also directed the Department of Health Services (DHS) to adopt rules governing social equity licenses and issue 26 marijuana establishment licenses under the Social Equity Ownership Program. These licenses were directed to individuals from communities disproportionately impacted by the enforcement of previous marijuana laws (A.R.S. § 36-2854).

A violent crime means any criminal act that results in death or physical injury or involves the criminal use of a deadly weapon (A.R.S. § 13-901.03).
