CA SB160

Expands the definition of "manufacture" to include packaging and labeling cannabis products, in addition to compounding, blending, extracting, and infusing.

Establishes that cannabis licensing authority is a matter of statewide concern and grants the Department of Cannabis Control sole authority to create, issue, deny, renew, discipline, suspend, or revoke licenses for commercial cannabis activity.

Extends provisional licensing deadlines: until June 30, 2022 for general applicants, until September 30, 2022 for cultivation applicants under 20,000 square feet, and until June 30, 2023 for local equity applicants; prohibits all provisional licenses after January 1, 2026.

Delays the Department of Food and Agriculture's deadline to establish appellations of origin for cannabis from January 1, 2021 to January 1, 2022, and authorizes fee collection for regulatory costs.

Requires the Department of Cannabis Control to adopt regulations by January 1, 2023 allowing licensees to designate cannabis as trade samples, including definitions of trade samples, quantity limits, labeling requirements, and allowable purposes; appropriates $10,000 to implement the bill.
