AB 2810 Summary

• Amends cannabis cultivation licensing to authorize Type 1C "specialty cottage" licenses for up to 2,500 square feet of outdoor cannabis cultivation in addition to existing mixed-light and indoor options.

• Creates the Sun-Grown Cannabis Commission with 9 members (6 outdoor cultivators, 2 mixed-light cultivators, 1 public member) to conduct research, assess regulatory impacts, and collect market price information for sun-grown cannabis producers.

• Creates the Indoor-Grown Cannabis Commission with 21 members (17 cultivators, 3 state cannabis licenseholders, 1 public member) with similar powers focused on indoor-grown cannabis industries.

• Both commissions become operative only upon cultivator approval through referendum and may levy assessments on cultivators to fund operations; requires state licensing fees to be adjusted to include administration and enforcement costs.

• Establishes confidentiality protections for proprietary and trade secret information collected by commissions, with provisions for five-year reapproval referendums and suspension procedures if commissions fail to effectuate their purposes.
