AZ SB1709

Requires nonprofit medical marijuana dispensaries and marijuana establishments to submit independent third-party laboratory test results to the department within five calendar days, with testing to confirm potency and screen for microbial contamination, heavy metals, pesticides, and residual solvents.

Establishes batch size limits of 50 pounds for cultivated marijuana with plants planted and harvested within 72-hour windows, and requires unique batch numbers that cannot be reused to match certificates of analysis to specific products.

Mandates that marijuana product packaging include a scannable QR code linking to the complete independent third-party laboratory certificate of analysis, harvest date, strain, extraction method, manufacture date, distribution chain, and pregnancy warning by December 31, 2023.

Authorizes the department to contract with third-party laboratories starting January 1, 2025 to conduct random sample testing of marijuana at dispensaries and establishments to verify certified test results match products being sold, with contractors protected from prosecution for possession.

Makes complaint information about laboratories, testing facilities, dispensaries, and establishments publicly available after the department determines reasonable basis for investigation, while keeping complainant names confidential upon request.
